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.

OK, start with Christmas Day. I'll wait.
lol if he actually tried this, the speed in which big companies would lobby the fuck out of it would be insane.
300 million people can't have a single fucking day off every once in a while because it will "cost billions", while less than 10 people are hoarding over a TRILLION in wealth.

Sounds like the WH chef staff ran out of chicken nuggies
Hoffa and JFK got whacked for less than this.
someone do the fuckin deed already, I'm so fuckin sick of this jackass and all his Republican dumbfucks
Don’t worry, Don, the “essential workers” won’t be affected.
Golf.
Remind me how "all these businesses" can be closed if it's really only the federal government actually takes the day off for federal holidays? Like sure some banks do as well, but most companies just stay open
Here in the real US (I.E not has make up fantasy land that he wants his user base to believe in), most companies were business as usual. As most companies only really close for Christmas and maybe Thanksgiving and Easter.
Not to mention that most Federal workers are salary, and their pay includes holidays, if he were to remove the holidays as part of the package, he would need to spend /more/ money on the workers, so it's not like it would be a plus even in his imaginary world. This is ignoring the fact that a good portion of the federal government is also unionized. so this entire plan would fall short before it even hit the water.
Yeah I wanna say the majority of people have less holidays off these days already. Hell even paid holidays (where the business doesn't close but you get 1.5x pay) seem to be shrinking.
fuck him
This is the first trump post where I saw the members of r/conservative unanimously against the president.
Too bad they'll still support him anyway..
Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist “lazy people of color” trope, I see. And on Juneteenth, too. I’m sure that’s part of the subtext he was going for.
If you want to prevent this from happening get involved in protests and contact your representatives. #nokings #50501
From this list, it looks like the US and Vietnam are actually tied for the lowest, with 6 each.
One of Vietnam's holidays, Tet, last 7 days, though. So that 12 total days off.
Huh. So they just chill for a week straight? That's pretty cool.

If Trump tries to take away a federal holiday, that might be what makes somebody finally do it.
You guys are getting days off?
