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.

Two weeks is a pathetic amount of leave. I get four here and Australian workers are still pretty cucked by European standards.
Is this like not including sales taxes in prices so they can pretend they’re earning more than elsewhere, even though you have to take unpaid leave just to have a life outside of work at all?
Two weeks is tons better than the zero we have now, though. I'm 51 and the last time I went on vacation was when I was 12 years old. I have never taken vacation as an adult.
It's not pathetic. two weeks would be more than my wildest dreams.
