And how do you determine how much pay someone deserves :) Anyway, artificial salary fixes don't work. Too much burden on companies -- they'll just outsource (now why does that sound familliar.)

Article II: Workers have the right to protest in a non-violent manner in orcordence with national law. They also have a right to safety, insurence, and reembersment of family should they get involved in any severe or mortal

Will cost the companies too much.

Article III: Workers have the right to labor unions and other organizations that can help them acheive their goals for higher pay, or any other reason.

You can have a group without formalizing it. Formal groups create an 'us and them' scenario, which we want to avoid.

Article IV: Workers have a right to appear in court and sue their managers and/ higher corperation officals if neccessary that they beleive that they are not carrying out the minimum requirments for the workers rights Act.

Won't stop them from being fired.

Act V: Finally workers have the right to shutdown bussinesses, factories, and refineries if during a strike and at least 70% of the work force in that branch office is striking.ts Act

If everyone did this economy would collapse.
