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.

Tipping a barista while paying would almost always mean tipping BEFORE the service is rendered. This is not a tip, it is just an added fee.
True but other than sit down restaurants where do you tip after the service is rendered? I agree that it is just an added fee and we are just subsidizing capitalists.
I don't know how to fix it though. Not tipping does nothing but hurt the workers.
Hair salons, nail salons, valet, dog grooming, any sort of contract work around your house like lawnmowing, bars....
Oof really good examples.
Nobody tips lawn mowers and contractors!
When I was well off I'd try to tip everyone who did even a half-decent job. Gas station attendants, grocery store workers, doesn't matter...unless they refused as part of their work rules (some are like that) I would try to tip them.
