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 worked at a place that prided itself on being "data driven". They put it on tshirts and made fun of startups they said were driven by emotions and gut feelings.
Someone brought up four day workweeks. They said every study they'd seen showed it was better for everyone involved.
The ceo, one of the big "data > feelings" guys, just laughed and said "we're not doing that.". Didn't look at any data or studies. Just shut it down.
So I'm glad there's another study about this, but I don't know how to get through to the thin skinned leaders.
These executives don't ever care about facts. They care about money and control, always. Not being rich in this oligarchy is rough ๐
