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.

We had two guys with Down syndrome, an active crack head that would run out and smoke crack behind the dumpster during shift, a bunch of teenagers, and an 80 year old. And that was just my shift. McDonald’s literally hires anyone they legally are allowed to.
That roster sounds so made up, I'm not sure you've ever been in a McDonald's.
I’m not sure you’ve ever been in a McDonald’s in rural Oklahoma, because that was my entire high school experience working there lol.
