Repeal "The 40 Hour Workweek"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal Resolution: #59 Proposed By: Leg-ends

UN Resolution #59: The 40 Hour Workweek (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Individuals should have the right to choose how many hours a week they want to work without interference from the United Nations.

The consequences of Resolution #59 are the opposite of the aims. The resolution actually increases income inequality as it is often the typically low paid poor who work longer hours to make up for the gap in income with the higher paid workers and thus has further consequences of decreasing basic welfare.
