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.

In a lot of places in Europe, they are forced to give you free tap water. Now, the tap water is basically free for them (and that's why they passed that law), but they give it to you in one of their paper cups. Those cost money.
For years now I've been boycotting starbucks by asking for a cup of water every time I see one, and not buying anything from them.
I've probably only made them lose 2 cents, but I'm proud of it. Fuck starbucks.
(Of course, be respectful to the employees when you ask them for the cup of water)
I use their restrooms
