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.

We're trying!
Oh, I know, I'm a millennial myself. Before I moved into a management role, I was a union steward. I've worked with two different unions as a manager, and I'd say we've always been on good terms. A big part of that has been the fact that I expressly direct employees to the union when a peer is acting out. I can't do anything laterally, so I let the employees know that I'll address their concerns up the chain, but they should also communicate with their steward to ensure it is addressed.
