MINISTRY OF WORK SAY ROBOCOP IS AWESOME



In other news; the Skilled Worker's Scheme has been approved by the United Kingdom House of Commons and has been sent to the House of Lords for approval. Here is the text of the bill;

Skilled Workers Scheme

"Purpose: To regulate the market during times of hardship, such as war or underproduction. To ensure that crucial industries have a steady supply of high skilled labour. To produce arms and moving tickets during wartime shortages.

Procedure: Workers over skill 7 can volunteer for the scheme, with their General Manager's consent. General Managers of essential industries can offer their company to the government. Companies which have a strong and reliable history will be added to a list held by the Ministry of Work. During times of hardship(as agreed on by the Prime Minister and the Minister for Work) volunteer 'Skilled Workers' shall be transferred to essential industry sectors where demand greatly exceeds supply, to increase production.

Definitions: Underproduction refers to a situation where demand exceeds supply, and the continuation of this situation would prove detrimental to the UK as a whole."

I don't know why this sort of thing requires the approval of parliament when it doesn't really involve the public purse, but that's government for you. : )
If there are any skilled workers out there reading this who would be interested, please get in touch, and providing I don't get into any trouble, I'll also be happy to accept people of skill 6 for a reserve list.



Also, the British cabinet expanded earlier with the grand opening of the Ministry of Home Affairs(not of an extra-marital kind), so give a warm hello to the first ever Minister for Home Affairs, Scipio The Great. The ministry is represented in-game through the Home Office which has published an article detailing the changes.


Well, that's it for now Workers, check out the National Forums and remember. Only you can prevent tooth decay!
