[Adam Griffin]

Nay

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

AYE

[Lumine]

Aye.

[President Tyrion]

NAY

[Cincinnatus]

This is tied with three days left.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This now has just two days left.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Can we extend the time limits for this?

Why do you ask, every Senator has voted?

There used to be extensions but I think we removed them a few months ago since they were never used that I recall in the past four or five years.

We removed them? Injunction powers are still on the wiki.

Of course, I'll trust you more than the wiki.

IT might have been just for the amendment votes.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Yes, it was just the amendment votes that we removed it. There is a 72 hour "injunction" that can be used to extend final votes.

 

And this has one day and a few hours left I think.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

One thing I had hoped to do was to expand the Nixcome in conjunction with these reductions in the minimum wage.

Since the tipped section never got addressed and there are other aspects of the minimum that some desire to be addressed, I figure we will have another bill soon on the matter and we can look at that when the time comes.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What does this bill do for our minimum wage? Are the minimum wage changes dead?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

What does this bill do for our minimum wage? Are the minimum wage changes dead?

The regular minimum wage is kept at 12.50 with this bill, instead of increasing.

[TNF]

What does this bill do for our minimum wage? Are the minimum wage changes dead?

Yes, it revokes the promise made to the working class of Atlasia by not raising their wages. It is a disgusting and vile attack upon them.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The regular minimum wage is kept at 12.50 with this bill, instead of increasing.

I believe that 12.50 is indexed to inflation also under pre-FLSA statute.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Vote on Final Passage of the Long-Term Unemployment Relief Act:

Aye (5): DC al Fine, Goldwater, Lumine, NC Yankee and shua
Nay (5): Adam Griffin, Alfred F. Jones, bore, TNF and TyriontheImperialist
Abstain (0):

The final vote is tied I believe with time having expired.

Yes, that is correct. This bill doesn't change that.

[Cincinnatus]

Aye.

x Duke

Time to right an oversight I made during my first term, at least partially. We can revisit the minimum wage hikes each year rather than setting a $18/hour limit in just 4 years.

[TNF]

What a bullsh**t move on the part of the administration -- you promise higher wages (on a time-table, no less!) and then go back on your word? I'm not sure I understand why we can break promises to workers, but never to the ers who don't pay them enough in the first place. This is disgusting, and is a definitive black mark on an otherwise progressive administration. I am utterly shocked and appalled.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Frankly, I'm ashamed of the President for abandoning Atlasia's working class (and after he promised them higher wages, no less!). I stand united with Sen. TNF and the entire Labor Party in opposing this vile betrayal of the Atlasian people. If President Duke didn't want higher wages, he shouldn't have passed the FLSA in the first place.

Exactly! If he had such a problem with it before, why not utilize his ability to re-write the legislation? Why repeal it wholescale now? It's nonsense. Utter nonsense and contempt for working people.
