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.

Yes, that's one of the things that happens in this violent and inhumane nation. I now live in Europe, and I had a lot more than 75 days of sick leave when I had my amputation. I still have my job and my employer isn't mad at me in the slightest, because here it's understood that shit happens and that's life.
Now the orange felon has made it nearly impossible for americans to leave because the world hates our guts even more. I'd be embarrassed to even go to another country without a short that just says SORRYYYYYY on it.
The world isn't reddit/lemmy, most people aren't going to say or do anything unless you act like an asshole.
Yeah true. I'd still rather just pretend I'm Canadian
I certainly would be careful about saying you're American if you go on vacation abroad. But I'm a long-time expat, and I can tell you if you behave well and you integrate in the society of your choice, people know the difference between ugly Americans and those who choose to be better.
