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: The United Nations,
BELIEVING that individuals have the right to choose to work for more than 40 hours per week should they so wish;
OBSERVING that every country has differing, complex socioeconomic conditions;
RECOGNISING that the UN is not as informed as national governments on economic circumstances prevalent in individual nations, and is as such less well placed to effectively accommodate their varying needs;
CONCERNED that "The 40 Hour Workweek" unfairly restricts the economic progress of developing countries, and of small businesses within more developed countries;
BELIEVING that terms and conditions of employment are best decided through negotiations between employees and employers;
FURTHER BELIEVING that the United Nations should where possible not interfere in private negotiations;
CONCLUDING that key economic decisions should be taken at the level where those closest to the issue at hand have the greatest information and understanding of differing economic conditions:
