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.
Just remember, for scale:
1m seconds = 11.5 days
1b seconds = 31.7 years
1t seconds = 317 centuries (31,709 years)
While I know it's not cash on hand and it's net worth, it's still the principal that he's allowed to be CEO of ~5 businesses while others are shamed and called out for "over employment", and so many around the world struggle, while he gets to use his money to influence politics, and change things to benefit himself at the expense of others.
This should be criminal.
My sleepy brain read that as "crimilionaire"
It's wild to think just how much they are stealing from us in terms of time. The "cost of living crisis" is an interesting way of them stealing our labor. Like they set the prices for everything and record record profits year over year. We really should all be getting our pitchforks out and heading to the nearest capital building and demanding change. Fuck the peaceful protests
I haven't watched the video yet, to be fair, but Johnny Harris is very much not a figure I'd trust on this topic. Not after his ghost written shareholder capitalism propaganda.
