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.

Probably not so innocent
I mean if he got ass-stapled he also probably would have experienced trauma also. I'm not trying to paint it as necessarily light hearted or okay... honestly, it's just too hard for me to say much of anything without knowing anything other than this video. I'm just saying that my first read filtering the video through my US lens is "yeah they're fucking around."
My first thought was "๐๐ toxic masculinity".
Thank goodness no US factory I have worked for would tolerate this kind of crap. Hazing at best, absolutely a lawsuit waiting to happen.
