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.

EVERYONE deserves a liveable wage, including the people you mentioned.
That’s what the minimum wage is for.
Sounds like somebody feels entitled to another mans labour at certain prices lol
Sounds like someone thinks a particular class of worker should make more than their peers for arbitrary reasons.
I think min wage should be set where a person can live without transfer payments from the state and food banks
Cool, then Uber drivers should make minimum wage and the push should be to increase minimum wage.
Or they can advocate for themselves for a better deal ;)
It is called bargaining and lobbying and it it is a protected right.
Ridesharing apps surely love doing it. Why are you so hurt that the drivers did it?
