Shadownaldistan was very disapointed to see this pass. It's suprising that the vast majority of nations would not want to ensure workers rights/basic decency in the workplace. The Social Assistance Accord would have made healthier work forces and outlaw many backward practices.

Perhaps "the Social Assistance Accord was a badly written resolution" is a more plausible hypothesis to explain it's passing than your "EVERYONE HATES WORKERS" theory.

Really, I would have thought that resolutions like Workplace Safety Standards Act would do a better job of improving workplaces that the Social Assistance Accord ever did.

It isn't a matter of opposing worker's rights and welfare. It's a matter of desiring stronger legislation both in power and wording that can't be so overwhelmingly repealed.

Remember Rhodesia.

I do hope it wasn't in economics.

For me it is a matter of legislating expenditures without providing the money to pay for them. I am always suspicious when someone says "Go pay for this" and he doesn't address the fact my wallet is empty. Before I can support even a well intended measure such as this I have to know who is going to pay for it and how. The answer "Squeeze it out of your own money" Doesn't satisfy me.

Basic social assistance would have in no way impeded nations economies, and would have guaranteed a basic safety net for those less fortunate than ourselves.

Well it did make my economic rating go down 1 point, which was reversed when the act was repealed. ;)

If you already live in a first or second tier economy that is generally true, but in third world nations, many have trouble providing much more basic services because they are broke.
