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.

MODERATORS
When I worked as a restocker at a grocery store, they planned the majority of us for 3 hours a day (we were mostly minors so we didn't know better), from 17:00 till 20:00. Because, at 3.5 hours, you were entitled to a 30 minute break, and even tho it was an unpaid break they still didn't want you to take it. Did you get a lot more stuff then normal and so you had to work overtime? Tough shit, you still ain't getting that break even tho it's now 21:00
Sometimes they would even cut some people their hours back if they felt that they weren't working hard enough (again, we were minors, some of us making 4 bucks an hour, they were that petty). Fuck this system
