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.

Not everyone is 20 years old. This absolutely doesn't make sense if you're hiring a 50 year old person who has been working for 30 years; their college grades are completely irrelevant at that point.
Right, but if someone has been working for 30 years consistently do you really still need to assess them? Does an interview not suffice?
Depends on the role I think. Also, this is very relevant for people who have been working for just 5 years. 5 years in a job you can learn just as much practical knowledge as 5 years in college... or not.
Nobody is hiring 50 year olds. They are getting rid of 50 year olds and replacing them with 20 year olds
