This act will fill a glaring hole in our social safety net - that is, it will provide workers with paid leave and additional security against the unpredictability of life that comes with sickness, as well as ending the travesty of being the only nation in the industrialized world that does not guarantee paid vacation days to its workers, as well as paid parental leave for young parents.

I have a feeling this goes deeper and deeper into the intimate workings of a business, I think we should respect that to a certain extent.

Also, I think those tax incentives are a bit much. Not that it'll make much of a difference for me, but can we can get a check on this in terms of cost?

Why should we 'respect' that? Businesses operate within law of the Republic of Atlasia, the Republic of Atlasia does not operate within the law of business.

I'm fine with cutting out the tax incentives. Doing so will probably mean a few smaller companies will go under, however, and that is what I was aiming to avoid here.

Absolutely, Businesses should follow the rule of law. You have no disagreement here. However, just as laws can get too intervening into the lives of people, so too can they do so  in the inner-workings of a business. I don't think we'll ever agree on this issue, so it's hard to argue, but I think it's an issue of a certain line between creating laws that make a good enviorment for people in jobs, and creating laws that hurt employment/jobs.

Glad to hear that it has your tentative support, Senator.

I never thought I would ever not be able to get on, on a Saturday morning, more or less the next day as well.

Senators, this bill is now at final vote, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
