| Message | Would this increase the minimum wage of the average worker? |
| Date | 12:13:40, July 23, 2006 CET | From | Aldegar Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage Bill |
| Message | Yes. Under the old provision, the minimum wage was just enough to keep a family above the poverty line. If this becomes the law, the average worker/family would be well above the poverty line. |
