Bill: Labor Rights Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Jabhat Altahrir Almutahida
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 4396
Description[?]:
| Increasing the minimum wage and government mandated working hours will promote stability. Workers won't have a reason to strike for less working hours and higher wages. Therefore Kafuristan can regulate unionization, which hinders economic growth and stability. JAA is open to suggestions and compromise. Maybe other labor laws can be changed too. |
