Yes

“We are a little nation and for this reason each citizen have the right to be the most protected by our law.”

Avalonian Foundations
Voted Aug. 16, 2024
No

“While AF recognizes the value of protecting workers' environments, the practical effects of this legislation would drastically increase labor and manufacturing costs, and create even more green and red tape for manufacturers. In turn, this will slowly hurt our blue collar workers by shrinking their job pool.”
