Proposed platform (unemployment, minimum wage, insurance, party)

[Lekrii]

I wanted to propose the below as a platform for our country.

1. Stimulate improved job safety of our workers, through assistance to the States, employees and employers
2. Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers, handicapped workers, members of minority groups, and migratory workers
3. Strengthen and improve the Federal-State Employment Service ad improve the effectiveness of the unemployment insurance system
4. Protect by law, the assets of employee welfare and benefit plans so that workers who are the beneficiaries can be assured of their rightful benefits
5. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of Sex
6. Federally-assisted construction, and maintain and continue the vigorous administration of the Federal prevailing minimum wage law for public supply contracts
7. Extend the protection of the Federal minimum wage laws to as many more workers as is possible and practicable
8. Continue to fight for the elimination of discrimination in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry or sex
9. Provide assistance to improve the economic conditions of areas faced with persistent and substantial unemployment
10. Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker, and the public
11. the protection of the right of workers to organize into unions and to bargain collectively is the firm and permanent policy of the Eisenhower Administration

I see a lot of people on this forum want to strengthen the Republican platform. In the spirit of supporting the Republicans in this country, what I posted above is the 1956 Republican platform. I think we need to consider moving the GOP back to what the party stood for several decades ago, and let's start to consider GOP candidates that are true to the historical views of the party, as defined above.
