Bill: Workers Rights Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Reform Party
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: May 2210
Description[?]:
| For too long has Aloria forsaken the working class. This bill will ensure that our workers are protected from capitalists who seek only a profit. Employer's rights stop when it ruins the lives of workers -- who are of far more importance to the economy than a few measly managers. With proper direction, the workers could compete in a market without the need for managers or employers. They could most easily employ themselves, and that is precisly what we propose. |
