Some adjustments I'd suggest:

1)
Making the $15 minimum wage clause tied to inflation.

2)

These two clauses are similar enough to be made into one clause

Why not ban spanking/corporate punishment of children in general, not just in school? Certainly detrimental to a child's upbringing.

It's more of a symbolic gesture, and it's acceptable if it's erratically enforced. Countries like Brazil and Germany ban corporate punishment and parents don't end up in jail for it.

No opposition to the other suggested amendments?

I think the right to fundamental security of the person is important enough for such a policy to be on the books. In any case if I sponsored a bill to ban corporate punishment the "punishment" for the parents would be mandatory counselling.

I'll formally sponsor the following amendments.

The above would replace the two clauses regarding the right of public employees to unionize and strike.

Since these two amendments have had no opposition, I will ask for a vote on these. I also want to hear more party members give their opinion on banning corporate punishment and/or private schools.
