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.

New law:
If you got pregnant with an employer's promise of maternity leave they should be on the hook for all 9 months.
They can either keep you on and get work out of you or they can fire you 2 months in but they're paying you all 9 months + 3 month maternity leave post partum.
Here in France it is punishable by law to fire someone during a maternity leave. This should be the norm, and then some.
