Vote Against GA resolution Repeal: "Protected Working Leave"
Resolution Analysis
Overview
This resolution seeks to repeal Protected Working Leave. The main thrust of the resolution is that the proposal's mandates are poorly defined and that, as a result, this proposal's mandate for paid working leave is problematic. Through attacking several definitions provided by the original proposal's author, the author makes the argument that the target resolution is essentially a morass of mandates that are in effect counterproductive to the goal of ensuring people both are able to take care of emergencies since there are many avenues which a person may be able to use to refuse to return to work.
Recommendation
While the second and third clauses of this proposal may have some merit, we take major issue with several arguments used against this resolution. When proposal authors write resolutions, they do so with the goal of ensuring that the actors enforcing the mandates they write will be reasonable. Surely, employers will have reasonable limits for what can be considered "serious" and an "illness". Additionally, we contend that once again a rational actor would be able to surmise the definition of "comparable". There are certainly avenues of making us amenable to a repeal, but directly challenging the assertion that all actors implementing a resolution will be both reasonable and rational (while potentially not accurate in reality) is perhaps the most unpalatable argument an author could advance for a repeal.
For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote Against the General Assembly Resolution at vote, "Repeal: 'Protected Working Leave'".
