Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

It's not even the teachers in my daughter's public middle school I have a problem with. It's the substitutes. They do things like talk conservative politics and threaten any kid who does anything with a 3-day suspension. Crazy shit. These people should not be around children. But the school system gets what they pay for.
And the teachers aren't all that much better. One put an actual cross and bible quote in her classroom. Again, a public school. I contacted the Freedom From Religion Foundation to get that taken care of. And it was.
I was so annoyed in high school though, because I actually did have a biology teacher who was the opposite. That boogeyman anti-faith "evolutionist" strawman.
He openly polled the class and asked each student, row by row, if they were religious, and that they had to choose between "make believe" and science.
It pissed me off not so much because of what he did, but that he proved that there really were science teachers like that, and all the anti-science conservative families whose children took his class would be using that story as an example of the "evil anti-God agenda" of science educators.
in my opinion, every science teacher should be exactly like that
Child students are a captive audience. The classroom should be a safe place for them regardless of the beliefs they're taught at home. No teacher should be mocking or bullying students. Let the science and truth speak for itself.
I'm my state, substitutes don't need to have their credential. You get some rough candidates as a result.
That's usually why they're substitutes, they have a degree, but no credentials.
In my state, teachers don’t have to have their credential.
