Reasonable Minimum Wage Bill (Law'd)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would prefer $9.50 or better yet $12.50 but that won't pass for sure. This will have to do.

I think attaching it to the wage inflation is actually pretty fair.

How about a compromise like U.S. social security checks are run?

Let's tie the minimum wage to "wage inflation", but only if that number is equal or greater than 0, otherwise, it just stays the same.

I would tend to support this idea. As I told Marokai via PM I won't support a minimum wage that falls during deflationary times.

I object.

A fine of up to £30,000 for one violation, deliberate or in error (and trust me it happens! People in my workplace were paid under the minimum wage for 3 months due to an error) could be enough to close a workplace down and cast it's employees into unemployment. The reasons for taking legal action against an employer have to be tightened in the legislation.

Good thing we don't use pounds.

Yes. Given the weakness of the Dollar

I have a feeling you will be using Euros soon anyway. Just a gut feeling.
