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.

MODERATORS
Your point is completely moot unless they talk like this at work, and you'd be surprised how well the angriest and unhappiest employees can fake everything being okay. It's an expectation when you're hired after all -- do whatever management says with a smile. Well, you'll get a smile, but you aren't going to control the thoughts behind it.
Besides, I don't terribly like the idea of being paid to comply and fall in line like a good little drone. I value my self worth and dignity at better than a +25% raise. You should too.
Otherwise, I'll give you +27% to apologize to everyone you've insulted and then put a sock in it.
They probably aren't walking around dropping F bombs everywhere but attitude problems like this tend to stand out in my experience.
