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.

How to save money when working in-person:
I love how this is framed as being just as silly as making alcohol under your desk. Our cities fucking suck.
Excellent suggestions! Biking also gives you many opportunities to spot some road kill pizza for those moral-boosting pizza parties!
If you keep a plastic bottle under your desk you can save money by reusing last night's alcohol.
I do love my bike commute, though. Saves me five dollars on bus fare and gets some exercise in. ❤️ also guilt free lunch.
When I go to work, I have to:
So not only do I lose almost two hours sitting on public transport (an entire work day per week is completely lost on public transport!!) , I also get to pay 20 euros for the experience, while being constantly disturbed at the office and having no say about noise, smells or temperatures at the office.
It's honestly awful that we even consider going to offices like fucking drones still.
