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.

Well if this is actually recent, then it is definitely intentional. Trees are usually trimmed in early spring, cutting them back that much in the middle of summer puts a lot of stress on the trees and risks killing them.
(if memory serves) According to a podcast I listened to yesterday, they don't own the trees. They're public property trees. Trimming was not scheduled.
Yep. I heard they're actually being fined, sadly only for $250 because old city laws limit how much they can be fined.
If any of these trees dies, I hope Universal is on the hook for replacing it.
Considering the first fine, I fully expect the second one to be a grand total of tree fiddy
fiddy trees would be better =/
I literally laughed at the joke. Both funny and sad...
Yeah I saw this and while I'm not a tree management expert I'm like "they basically left no leaves on these poor things". With the insane heat we've been seeing, this can't be good.
