“For **Drumagh’s People’s Wing**, here are the reasons in a single continuous paragraph: **People’s Wing supports a 35-hour working week because workers deserve a better work-life balance without relying on excessive hours. We support 6+ weeks of paid leave because proper rest and time with family improve workers’ quality of life. We oppose retirement at 60 because Drumagh is under severe IMF debt pressure, and earlier retirement would put even more strain on pensions and public finances. We oppose completely unconditional welfare because Drumagh needs a sustainable safety net that supports vulnerable people while encouraging employment where possible. We support banning employment under 16 because children should have the chance to focus on education, safety, and healthy development.**”
Workers' Liberation Act of 2021
Rationale
True liberation demands workers control their time, their retirement, and their survival. These reforms end exploitation of labour, guarantee dignity without coercion, and ensure the fruits of production serve the people, not the bosses!

First Council of Ministers
FailedFor: 22 / 100 seats (22.0%)
Against: 73 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 5
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centralist Unity | 30 | No | While we would normally be in favor of most articles present in this bill, Drumagh's economy is simply too fragile for them to truly offer benefits to the workers. Furthermore, we fundamentally oppose Article 4, as it ultimately violates the principle of a diligent nation we believe in. Finally, we can only fully agree with Article 5, as children should advance their studies and, as supported by us, integrate a national youth league dedicated to teaching survival and first-aid, self-defense, management and discipline. Thus, we vote NO to this bill. |
| Radical Republican Union | 28 | No | These measures would bring extreme stress to the Drumaghian economy while the IMF program is still going on. We would support articles 1, 3 and 5 in a regular context but not in the current state of things, and we oppose articles 2 and 4. The RRU deeply believe in a pragmatic management of the economy and, even if it does hurt Drumaghians for a little bit of time, we think that the priority should be to establish strong economic growth back and end the IMF intervention in Drumagh. |
