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.

I think it's very unlikely that the kids will be doing anything resembling work that's productive for the company.
At worst, this is glamourizing fast food and fast food jobs to children. But this isn't slave labour, lol
Lol yeah, this will definitely be a net loss in productivity.
It is lame as a children's activity, but I could see some novelty in it, it's sort of like those Mr Rogers segments where they go behind the scenes at a factory.
Exactly. All 30 kids will probably love it. This probably isn't something that parents would sign their kids up for unless they genuinely think their kid would enjoy it, lol
You're right. But the wording is way off. They should've emphasized the playful character of the event more.
It probably wasn't written by a professional, and they're trying to satisfy two demographics.
There's the part for the kids, obviously, but the other demographic is the parents who want their kids to LEARN something at the camp.
Parents don't necessarily send their kids to Pokemon Camp because their kid loves Pokemon, but because the camp advertises to parents that their kids will learn X, Y, and Z skills and stuff, lol
