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.

Believe it or not, shooting customers is against company policy at most fast food chains.
Believe it or not, shooting citizens unnecessarily is also against most police department policies.
Yes, both have the same policy, but one group of people shoot citizens unnecessarily way more than the other. I wonder why that is?
Probably because only 1 group of people is charged with imprisoning people against their will.
So you are saying that their de-escalation skills were not better than police? I would expect it to be against company policy to shoot a customer, but we're talking about de-escalation skills here.
I'd say that the one case you have of a fast food worker shooting someone is not the same as the plethora of cases of police shooting people. More importantly though and the true subtext of this post, is that this employee got fired, arrested, and charged with murder instead of a receiving a paid vacation and a transfer to a new McDonalds two counties over.
