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
The Christian, capitalist and right winger parties in Germany will promptly ignore this and demand 6 day workweeks after the vote.
Just as God intended, as outlined by Abraham Lincoln and Jesus H. Christmas.

That's guy's a jerk.

Please move EUgermans to their own fediverse servers, please! The constant political spam is annoying af. I keep blocking them but every day there are new ones posting.

I suppose had this instance (hosted at lemmy.world) didn’t want worldwide posts, they would’ve considered a different TLD.
I don't know what that sentence is saying. It doesn't seem relevant?
I'll attempt to translate.
They are trying to tell you that "EUgerman spam" you are complaining about is in fact not spam, but rather it is a normal part of a world-wide discussion.
Ah, so they just didn't read the context. Thank you for the translation.
Their username checks out
I’m based in the US but VPN into Switzerland for better online privacy (as well as a mix of other techniques).
The host of my instance was gracious enough to allow me to use it. I’m not physically in the EU, but that doesn’t mean I need to go around with a US-centric view on everything. Maybe realize there are other countries in the world, and that ours (the US) is by no means “tHe bEST.”
undefinedpart. 2) I'm not from or in the US, so that isn't "our" country. 👍👍 You joining a Swiss instance should surely make you aware that people from elsewhere than the US can make comments on Lemmy. 😁Literally not a single soul on all of lemmy has ever said the US is the best. You might be thinking of a different social media with "truth" in the name.
Nice reddit behavior. What's next, going to go through my post history and downvote every single comment and post - to really stick it to me? 🤣
No, that's boring. Someone did do that to me but I'm not sure what the point was. Here you're just a jerk and it seemed worthwhile to point out what a hypocritical person you are.
All you can do is hope people realize they are not good and choose to improve themselves. If you choose not to do that for whatever reason, that's your choice to be the worse man.
LOL, so Europeans posting some news is equivalent to US Americans spamming. Totally the same thing.
Given the ratio of users between the countries, I think the post ratio is about right. So yep, I agree, it's the same thing, which makes you a hypocrite.
Tbh I'm surprised you havent blocked me by now, your post indicated you were into that.
Oh no! .World having WORLDLY news! Oh, the humanity! How ever could they do such a thing?
By the way, not a sould is clicking that. If you need to link to context in a comment to a comment, you're full of shit and not worth the time.
What is it about non-American posts that upsets you?
