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.

Schools are soft and have gone overboard with cancellations.
I'll take that to my grave.
One, online school is now a viable option so this conversation is basically moot. Two, those policies tend to be written in, if not blood, expensive litigation and terrible optics. Minnesota used to have a very aggressive avoidance policy to school closures. Then 300 kids didn't get home after school until 9pm-12am. . Now school gets delayed or closed much more regularly.
I agree, but I say that out of jealousy. Everyone needs more snow days. It's like a mental health day with hot cocoa and snowmen.
It's the truth. 2 weeks of vacation, 6 sick days (the last two are write-ups), and 6 holidays are not enough.
