This August Assembly,
Acknowledging the fundamental role played by each worker to the global economy,
Applauding member states for their commitment to the protection of workers' rights, as evidenced by the passage of GAR#485 "On the Health and Financial Well-Being of Workers",
Regretting the flaws in this resolution which include;
- The conflation of various kinds of employment leave, including bereavement leave, maternity and paternity leave, illness leave and holiday leave into a single monolithic "work leave".
- The prescription of a precise amount of "work leave" each member state must offer to its workers, 12.5%, depriving member states of offering more generous state-guaranteed policies and businesses within member states from offering such policies themselves.
- The apparent lack of thought given to various social and economic phenomena that my result in a member state being unable to provide, or its workers not being inclined to receive, the prescribed rate of work leave.
- The failure to take into account non-salaried remuneration patterns such as freelance work or roles with low salaries but significant performance-related incentives.
Resolving to address issues surrounding workers rights and remunerations with a defter touch in future resolutions,
Hereby repeals GAR#485: "On the Health and Financial Well-Being of Workers"
Jumping the gun a bit here but this one looks certain to pass in a few days.
