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.

Does anyone want to do more work than me? Because I'd be curious who counts as an "employee", but not so curious as to dig.
Like, are all of the people who pick things at warehouses employees, or just a select few? Drivers, etc?
The drivers are contractors, not employees.
It includes warehouse employees, at least.
Are all the people who are in the warehouse employees? Are they all "full time" or whatever class of employee gets the new perks?
As far as I'm aware, in the warehouses, yes. And they just got their pay boosted to minimum $20 per hour.
Then that's good news!
A lot of people that work at Amazon are contractors
That's my assumption, but I have no data. And so I assume that the people that people think of when they think of "amazon employee" are actually not helped by this change.
