Act Party Promises Three-Year Minimum Wage Freeze and Training Wage

The Act Party has proposed a three-year freeze on the adult minimum wage and a training wage set at 60% of the adult minimum wage for workers under 20. The party also aims to make it more difficult for unions to collect membership fees from workers and allow protected employment exit negotiations. The policy is part of the party's small business plan, which argues that a training wage would create entry-level jobs and give employers a reason to hire inexperienced workers.
