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, 30 minutes is a bit too short even if you have a good restaurant nearby. In Sweden we get 42 minutes but in most workplaces nobody's really clocking you. And a couple of options are usually within walking distance.
Still though, I always used to prep for the reasons you said. I feel really lucky now that my workplace has a reasonably good restaurant on site, and there's no issue taking proper lunch breaks.
