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.

This highlights a major flaw with the idea, because that's not nearly long enough
Yeah, it's not a really practical idea anyway. There are diminishing returns, after the 20th minute it wouldn't be any worse and your body might actually start to get accustomed to the sensation.
I would suggest they have to do it once a day for five minutes contact per million dollars and they have to cycle between stinging nettles, poison ivy and wild parsnip.
