When I read the polls a few days ago, I was troubled by the good people in Jacobia who whined about how unemployment insurance doesn't exist.
I beg to differ. This from our Workers Bill of Rights:
VI. Employment Security and Benefits
1. Workers are entitled to fair and reasonable unemployment benefits. Unemployment Benefits are to be 75% of the average of individual's last year's wages if this average is less than 500% of the minimum wage. Unemployment Benefits are to be 50% of individual's last year's wages if this average is greater than 500% of the minimum wage.; they are paid for one year, at which point they are replaced by Social Aid. Unemployment benefits will have a maximum yearly payout of $40,000 per worker.
Unemployed workers have rallied to the left for relief, pointing out that Eutopia's very generous worker benefits only apply if one is working. Previous debates over unemployment insurance seem to be forgotten. Jacobians also wonders if a return to the monarchy may offer more relief than the current administration, who seems to give more priority to the WET and the Americans than Eutopians.
heagarty said:Also, you caught that in some areas, people are blaming the poor economy on benefits being TOO generous, right? That some employers have had to lay people off because they can't afford the benefits?
Just trying to fan the flames on both sides of this one.![]()
