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'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that the CEO of McDonald's is aware of that.
The rationale here is that if they get minimum wage increasesed, they can raise their workers wages without the reality or perception that they're ceding a fiduciary advantage to their competitors.
It's a reality that needs to be addressed. Some major corp had to eventually acknowledge it. Everyone knew it, nobody wanted to be the first to say it.
The first step is admitting there is a problem. The gravity of even this first step, and the fact that it's from Trump's fucking gold standard for food and American business, is massive.
