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.

There was a lot, but one thing that comes to mind is that my boss tried to tell our new employee that she would work her for an "unpaid trial period" for a week. When the new worker went off on break I let boss know that she legally had to pay the new worker. When the worker came back in my boss told her that surprise, she could actually get paid the hours she would work. Lol. Other things that come to mind:
Other stuff too but I don't want to get too specific lol.
