A recent Swiss petition drive has mandated a national referendum on a Basic Income. Parliament will have more than a year to craft the wording and call for a vote. An entirely separate petition drive has called for limiting CEO pay to no more than 12 times the lowest pay in the company. The vote on this issue will happen this month. Although the two petition drives in Switzerland were entirely separate, and to some extent competing, a new petition drive in the United States had combined the two proposals, calling for both limits on CEO pay and a basic income guarantee.

The proposal is online at: https://act.rootsaction.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=8734
