Bill: Work With Dignity Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian-Socialist Coalition
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: April 2203
Description[?]:
| It is absolutely intolerable that millions among us work full time jobs yet are still below the poverty line. What we're proposing is a minimum wage that will at least allow hard workers the ability to feed, house, and clothe themselves. While this is a far cry from providing a reasonable living wage (which our fine country once had), we can at least ensure that there is an INCENTIVE to work. If I cannot pay rent by working 40 hours a week, then of course welfare is an attractive alternative. If I cannot afford to eat by working full time, then of course morale and productivity will suffer drastically. The bottom line is this: A few bucks more an hour means far more to someone struggling to make ends meet than it does to someone who does not. This is an investment in our citizens - a decent wage with some dignity leads to better work performance. |
