[DRAFT] The Rights and Protections of Workers

[Sycorat]

The Rights and Protections of Workers, Written by Sycorat.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————⁂————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The World Assembly,

Recognising the importance of workers, and more broadly the working class, in the common affairs of nations worldwide, such as the production of foodstuffs, infrastructure, housing, clothing, et cetera, et cetera,

Hereby seeks to give those workers proper rights, needed benefits, and protections,

Therefore defining:

1. "Employees" as anyone working for and/or aiding their employer
   
2. "Servicepeople" as anyone working for and/or aiding someone else who is not their employer
   
3. "Employers" as anyone hiring workers for pay
   
4. "Recipients" as anyone recieving the aid of a Serviceperson
   
5. "Customer" as anyone buying goods or services from a shop or business
   
6. "Business" as any form of commercial activity, and/or any person's regular occupation, profession or trade
   
7. "Workplace" as any place where an Employee, Employer or Serviceperson's Business takes place

Also mandating that:

1. Employers must pay their Employees a fair, liveable monetary wage
   
2. Employers must define the areas and dimensions of a Workplace when setting such up
   
3. All Employees have the right to sue their Employer(s) if they are harmed at their Workplace
   
4. All Employees have the right to leave their Workplace if they have a serious suspicion and/or fear of being harmed at such
   
5. All Employers and Recipients are forbidden from using corporal punishment on their Employees or Servicepeople.
   
6. No Customer is allowed to use corporal punishment on Employees of any Workplace
   
7. All Employees are forbidden from using corporal punishment of Customers while at their Workplace
   
8. While Employees have the right to fire an Employee for any given reason, governments and/or administrations must, if legal, provide those fired with severance packages which those fired can apply for until they find a new Business
   
9. It is perfectly legal for Recipients to give a Serviceperson money and/or goods in exchange for that Serviceperson's service or aid while remaining a Recipient and not an Employer.
   
10. Employers and Recipients are forbidden from preventing Employees or Servicepeople from leaving workplaces.
    
11. Employers cannot hire Employees unless they have a Workplace.
    
12. Employers cannot claim to be Recipients, and Recipients cannot claim to be Employers, unless they provide hard proof that either is the other.

This is my first serious proposal, and I'd like your thoughts.

It appears there are already drafts (here and here) regarding this topic. you may want to discuss the authors on how differentiate this enough for this draft to stand on its own.

Hi, so I am the author of the second draft link above.

My draft is about minimum labor rights, so that my draft has a lot of conflicts with you. I think that we can focus on different parts of this topic.

Maybe you can consider focus on labor protection specifcally. So that our draft can together help the labors.

This is just suggestion, of course you can choose to compete with my draft, but I want to tell you that our goal is very similiar, maybe we shouldn't compete.

Maybe we could work together. Take aspects of eachother's proposal and mold them into one great worker's rights proposal.

I would like to work together, but I think splitting different areas of workers' rights into separate proposals might have a better chance of passing than putting everything into one large proposal.

For example, my current draft can continue focusing on core labor rights, while another proposal can focus more specifically on workplace safety, working conditions, or other labor protections.

We can still work together and make sure these proposals complement each other without unnecessary overlap. I think this may be better than trying to put every aspect of workers' rights into one proposal.

This proposal is not compatible with nations that have non monetary economies like mine. Against on that point primarily. The rest of this proposal basically reduces to don't phisically harm directly or indirectly your employee which I can agree with. An injured worker is an less productive one. I do however have an issue with severance being granted as a blanket. Severance is something to be negotiated at time of hire or promotion. Not a granted.
