All Class D humans with a work assignment will work one half local day, unless your local Labor Direction Center has declared a 'work holiday'. Meal and rest breaks are an earned privilege.
If you are a Class D human without a work assignment you will report immediately to your Labor Direction Center with your ID slip (legacy documents such as 'driver's licenses' will not be accepted) to receive your work assignment. Any Class D human detained for any reason who cannot provide record of a current work assignment will forfeit their Ration Card and may be re-designated Class E.
At least in this world, you would know what class you were, right? Clear cut, no illusions.
ReplyDeleteYup, the Association tends to make everything pretty concrete pretty quickly.
DeleteSounds remarkably like the hoops you have to jump through when applying for Unemployment Benefits.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it. :/
Deleteoften the biggest hurdle of people with records is the need for suitable work and rations. It is unfortunate that they lose those "benefits" because of their crime.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Association conquers Earth, all humans are considered guilty... of being human. :-)
DeleteAt least it's just cards you need - if all you needed was a bar code, then I'd worry. Still sounds too much like what some conspiracies say we're going to! :-s
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and commenting! :-)
DeleteWhy is it that I feel this might be a way of life in the future? Very good writing.
