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.

nice of him to say minimum wage should be higher so he can make more money, but why isn't he increasing it for his own workers?
he'd get a competitive edge and put some pressure on other companies in competing markets to do the same. what's stopping him?
I looked at this recently and he has. Years ago. They had to, because everyone sees these jobs as bad.
In fact, that's one reason for this company to want a minimum wage increase. Won't cost them nearly as much as it'll cost some competitors (especially mom&pop places, I imagine).
