Repeal "The 40 Hour Workweek"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #59
Proposed by: Leg-ends
Description: UN Resolution #59: The 40 Hour Workweek (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: Individuals should have the right to choose how many hours a week they want to work without interference from the United Nations.
The consequences of Resolution #59 are the opposite of the aims. The resolution actually increases income inequality as it is often the typically low paid poor who work longer hours to make up for the gap in income with the higher paid workers and thus has further consequences of decreasing basic welfare.
Votes For: 2,422
Votes Against: 1,616
Voting Ends: Sun Dec 19 2004

The UN has no real business telling people how long that they can work. This is a national issue, that must be resolved by the various nations. I'm not so sure about the income inequality part of the resolution, though. |

Labor Laws should be determined at the National (or lower) Level. Therefore that, as well as the negative economic impact created by this amendment, compell me to vote YES on the repeal |

Of course this stupid ass law needs to be repealed. I was here when it was implemented, and it almost made me throw up. I believe this was one of the resolutions that pissed me off enough to withdraw from the UN. Even though this resolution doesn't bring into account the morons who voted on the original resolution which is in NO WAY a United Nations matter, it at least should be supported. Technically they are correct in the income equality part, although it could have could been worded better. Anything to stop more UN bull-explicitive removed- to regulate national sovereignty...-explicitive removed-ing bastards. Abattoir, of course, votes YES.
