I didn't quite understand this part: "The committee’s top recommendation was the creation of a basic income pilot program that would award selected arts workers €10.50 ($11.90) per hour." They will be payed €10.50 on top of very hour that they work or will they get that money for every hour that they don't work? Do they count artists to work 40 hours per week?
