The workplace recovery act is bad for the economy for the things that britano said. I agree with that. And i hope that the senate will vote against it.

Good joke, just doesn't really make sense in context. If Britanno had made a typo, fair enough, but it's meh if there's no reason for making it.

To be honest about one thing. The workers are normaly the sourse of the problems of the company. A company goes bankruped due to having too high costs. The fastest way to lower costs is to fire some of the workforce or for them to accept lower wages. This normaly never happen as the workers would not agree. And trust me with this the workers have the same company. What changes would they make?

Section 2 of the Parental leave Act say, "The earliest a parental leave can begin is 17 weeks before the employee's due date." I feel 17 weeks is too early for an expecting oarent to begin paid leave, I believe the parent should only get 3 months (12 Week) bedore their due date.

It would be interesting to see the workers choose their own time off, with a minimun of 3 months(12 weeks) up to a maximum of 8 months and 1 week (33 weeks).
That time off would be regulated by how much the employees would receive during their license, but would be still regulated by the government.

Nope, taking more that half the fiscal year off is unacceptable in business terms. Though it'd be reasonable with the 12 days paid vacation every year. Fire Departments are allowed to choose their Kelly Day [Day off so that the department doesn't have to pay for overtime hours] which is a day off every month. Because they work 24 hour shifts every two days.

to Currency Reference Interim Clarification Act: currently, i've only read from one nb presidential candidate that he supports a dual-currency system
the nb, that will be founded soon, will hopefully create one single currency

to the Parental Leave Act:
3. 52 weeks of paid parental leave shall be provided in total, paid at 100% of prior gross income, up to a limit of £20,000. --> 52 100% payment without any work? why not those 45 days fully paid and the rest 320 only eg 75%? or 50%? the ministry of labour, that btw will get 26% of the budget, could easily afford to pay the other 25% or 50%
4. 3 years of unpaid leave will be provided. --> why shouldn't the company able to replace him/her? i mean within 3 years lots of things change, and I'd say maximum 2 years

to the Child Benefit Allowance Programme Act:
[i] In the case of twins, payments of one hundred and fifty (150) percent are to be made for both minors.
[ii] In the case of triplets, payments of two hundred (200) percent are to be made for those minors.
--> you can't bundle children like special offers in the supermarket... why should twins get 90 less than regular two children?

to the Labour Mediation Act:
when laws are used to solve a dispute, wouldn't that be the job of a court?

to the Workplace Recovery Act:
if a company goes bankrupt, then because the goods or services it deals with are just not demanded by the market
therefore the company won't have much chances to survive in the longer run, although it gets financial aid
if its business model would be good, eg fonds or rich individuals would kick in...

to the Co-Determination Act:
really? even a company with eg 10 employees needs a supervisory board? too much regulation...

Yes, but until then (and until we write a massive amendment bill that replaces references to dollars and pounds in every other passed law to this new currency) we need some way to allow people to coordinate financial transactions and protect people from those who try to exploit the confusion.
