Work Reform
9419 readers

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.

On my experience, 90% of the time there's more to the story than what people claim to be banned for. I'm not saying that 100% of that 90% of the time necessarily justifies the ban. But it usually changes the context significantly.
Fair enough. Officially I was banned for making a post that violated the subs rules, which I never did. In reality I was banned because a mod didn't like my attitude. I made a post asking about union materials, but I noticed that the post never went up, so I sent a mod mail asking if there was something wrong with my post. What I got back was a snarky remark about the mods not being bots and they have to manually approve every post and how dare I ask that question again and waste their precious time. To my surprise I made a post about a year ago and it didn't get approved after 7 hours so I sent a similar inquiry. Naturally I had completely forgotten about this interaction, so I thank the mod for being petty enough to look it up and mention it. Basically a case of give snark get snark, and they didn't like it and decided to power trip. That's the whole story.
Thank you for being honest enough to admit your title is a lie.
Next time be honest from the beginning and don't lie in your title.
Did you read what wrote? I was permanently banned and my post was removed because they said it violated the sub's rules, which it didn't. That's officially why I was banned. I didn't lie about anything here.
I'd consider it a lie to say you were supposedly banned for violating a rule when you yourself acknowledged that you know that's not the reason you were banned.
You could have included a qualifier such as supposedly or ostensibly and then explained the full context up front.
