Equal Employment for Everyone ActCategory: Advancement of Industry | Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation
The World Assembly DEFINES certain terms for the purpose of this resolution:
(i) An able-bodied citizen is anyone with citizenship in a WA nation who is able to pass a basic physical test, determined by individual nations, meets their nation’s age requirements for being above working age and below retirement age.
(ii) An EEE (Equal Employment for Everyone) contract is a signed document stating that a person will work a specified job, reporting to a specified employer, and also details each nation’s labor laws to protect workers. The contract has no time restrictions on how long it is valid, and can be invalidated if either party involved revokes their signature. Reason must be given, and can be disputed if a nation allows it, such as in court. If an employee is not legally competent, their parent or guardian must sign for them.
(iii) Legally competent is defined as being of the age or status where one may sign contracts and be legally bound to them. The specific age or status of legal competency is defined by individual nations.
(iv) A severely disabled citizen cannot pass even a basic test for working ability, as determined by an individual nation.
(v) Excessive wealth is defined as having enough finances in one household for that household to survive ten years with no further income.
(vi) Hindering education is defined as preventing a student from the following: seeking higher education, or maintaining grades of the same level they could have previously acquired.
ACKNOWLEDGES that citizens are expected to be employed in their nation, in order to promote economic growth and decrease government spending on welfare where it is not necessary. Funding removed from welfare for the unemployed could be focused on other areas that the government sees fit, such as creating jobs, or helping the elderly.
MANDATES the following:
(i) Disabled citizens must be given multiple employment opportunities that they are capable of doing, and must accept one or be financially stable without welfare. If a disabled citizen is entirely incapable of working, they are not to be forced.
(ii) All employed citizens must give their consent in an EEE labor contract, to protect workers from mistreatment by employers, and to show proof of employment to the government, if necessary. The contract must list labor laws, whether they only be those of the WA, or include a nation’s own as well.
(iii) Employed citizens who are of working age but are still required to go to school will not work more than they are capable of doing without interrupting their education. This can be determined by ensuring that they are passing all necessary classes.
(iv) If employment is not available to all working age citizens, the government shall create jobs to promote the economy and allow equal opportunity for citizens to be employed.
(v) A nation may exempt citizens from this legislation if the government believes that a particular citizen should not be required to follow it, for reasons including severe disability, hindering education, or excessive wealth.
(vi) Employment hours are to be determined by the citizen working, but citizens must have opportunities to work as much as is needed to survive above a nation’s poverty line.
ESTABLISHES the Board of Employment to ensure that the above mandates are adhered to, and to oversee paperwork involving application for exemption.
SUGGESTS that when jobs must be created, they benefit the public. For example, creating public works projects to clean the environment or help those in need.
EXEMPTS nations that have no need for employment for any citizens, such as post-scarcity nations.
