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.

UK supermarkets have started to compete on selling veg for almost nothing just before Christmas.
And I really mean almost nothing. Went into Aldi and got over 10kg of various vegetables for like £0.20
Probably a loss leader but I bought that and nothing else like 5 times. Still got a couple jars left that I pickled.
Jealous! I'd do so much canning and preserving!
Maybe it was a loss leader to get me buying loads of vinegar. Not that vinegar is overly expensive though.
I also did a little bit of lactofermenting which is cheaper. One of the jars leaked and the brine bubbled over the metal clips causing it to corrode and snap which is a shame. And to buy just that part costs almost as much as an entire jar when I last looked. Did leave some head space but I guess not enough. Or there was brine around the rim already and the bubbling pushed some out.
Maybe worth checking if I can get a bunch of clips for a more reasonable price
