	UN: Repeal "The 40 Hour Workweek" Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

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

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

Description:
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.

For. On the one hand, The Holy Empire of Iguana Fire supports hard working people and their need to provide for their families in an ever-increasingly hostile corporate landscape.

And on the other hand, society as a whole can benefit from this increased productivity in a rise in nations' GDP where this is actually implemented. As Iguana Fire and nations like its GDP rises, their dollars will crowd other, lesser nations out of business and only the fit will survive.
