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.

My ASM showed me his contract. It was for 55k/year. He expected to see a 6k bonus as well. That's it, and yeah, his hours were and are shitty. He works 10-11hrs per day on average, 6 days a week. One stretch he worked 23 days straight.
At Costco Canada, and I'm reading this straight out of the Employee Handbook right now, my wage will top out at $28.45/hr, as a front-line employee. Every 1,040 worked (26 weeks @ 40/hrs per week) I am getting a 1$/hr raise. Those amounts are set and not discretionary. There are 8 steps from starting wage to topped out and I'm at step 3 atm. This means that in roughly 30 months I will be making $28.45/hr.
When I reach 12,000 total hours worked I also start getting a payout of 3k every 6 months. I keep trying to convince my ASM to quit Walmart and sign on with Costco...
