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.

I actually have coworkers who were complaining about a day off, and saying "everybody's lazy, nobody wants to work anymore". Take the day off, and shut up!
Tell those coworkers to pick up the slack and work on their day-off. Take the off time for you and others so the aggravted workers feel good and pat their backs.
I'm a teacher, so any work they do doesn't help me, lol
How old are they? I feel like old people have nothing other than their jobs. They never had many hobbies and they never had to raise their kids.
They're over 30, but so am I! 😭
I find its more often they need those hours to afford to live. Sometimes due to poor life choices like owning 5 dirtbikes that don't run and buying a 6th, but often its just due to how unfair the economy is to low income families.
