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.

It is, honestly, a fucking terrible idea - I understand that servers are struggling but this is the worst way to fix it.
What's the better way to fix it?
Eliminate the submiminum wage mentioned in the article, then increase the minimum wage to something you can live on
Yes.
The sub min definitely needs to go. But my state is double the fed min and requires state min for wait staff. Min still isn't a living wage, and tips are still needed.
