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.

I love being a union member. Every few years they just negotiate me a better wage. If my manager acts like an asshole I bring my rep to a meeting. My manager tried some shit with me a couple of years ago, so I just filed a workload report and she had to meekly explain herself to my rep and why it wouldn't happen again and what plan she would put in place to ensure it didn't. It's so nice to have enforceable rights.
Man that's so nice. I would love to have that
Not perfect, but it's so nice just to really be yourself at work because you don't have to impress your manager.
its also nice that you can’t be fired because so-and-so doesn’t like you or your attitude. You can even yell “pedophile protector” at the President of the United States while on the job, and still be sure you have a job the next day haha.
To be fair most of my managers would agree with calling him that, but we're not American.
