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.

To shut down what? By design, that was a short trial:
And like any short trial, it doesn't answer the question whether the increased productivity would stay over longer periods of time. Other trials suggest that it wouldn't.
Even if productivity turns out to be the same, the 4-day work week would be better.
I fully agree. But I don't like misleading posts like this one implying that a 4-day work week would lead to better productivity. That's called confirmation bias. We (workers) won't achieve anything by spreading lies like that.
