Bill: MLP Living Wage Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon Patriots' Bloc
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2260
Description[?]:
| While the minimum wage in Telamon is much higher than in many nations in Terra, it still causes less fortunate Telamonians to suffer unneccesarily. We call on Parliament to institute not a minimum wage but a living wage so our lower class can actually live and support themselves. |
