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've seen the opposite. Hiring is such a nightmare that some managers will turn a blind eye for days - even weeks - if the employee isn't critical and the hiring process is sufficiently bureaucratic.
I remember hearing an employer begging people to come in, because he'd been saddled with flakey teenagers who weren't paid enough to give a shit one way or another.
