Aside from the rather amusing detour into metaphysics - I think anybody with a reasonably intelligent mind knows what a "worker" is - we find this a laudable proposal, and Caymarnia votes for it. The workers are the future, and their welfare is as much the responsibility of the State as it is the individual.

While we agree with the ambassador from Caymarnia that the metaphysical discussion should be unnecessary, unfortunately the resolution we are voting on does include a -- rather circular, we must say -- definition of "worker" and accordingly we must treat that definition as binding on the rest of its text.

Should the resolution fail and the author subsequently wish to submit an amended version, we would encourage the author to strike the definition in its entirety. While there are nuances in labor law that may require definitions in certain contexts, such as when contractors are hired, we are doubtful that such distinctions are needed here.

'No Rec' or No Recommendation indicates a vote where, in the absence of a recommendation from the Office of WA Legislation, the Admiral Delegate General voted according to the majority stance of World Assembly members in the South Pacific.

I noted the issue with clause 1 an hour after submission, when it would have been completely reasonable to pull the proposal and revise it. Sorry for not catching it sooner? (I likely just quickly skimmed the thread on the 8th, given that it was in my post-Labor Day forum catchup and there was nothing suggesting that the author was preparing to submit.)

This has been an OOC post.

OOC:
That is fair enough.
I did consider withdrawing at that time, but as I had already purchased telegram stamps and sent out a message to delegates, decided to leave it be and see what feedback others had.
I'd say that was the right call, as the general consensus has been that most of those who voted against it did so just due to some wording issues, not actually being against the idea of the proposal itself.

The WA Delegation of Alistia will take time to read and review all feedback that has been given, and will have a revised version of the proposal written and ready for feedback in the near future.

IC and OOC - best of luck.

(OOC: Redrafts of defeated proposals are typically posted in new threads :P)
