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.

So you agree the headline is a lie because she was not making 50% more by switching to work at Costco but by finding a job with vertical promotion possibilities and getting a corporate job using her degree which few would be able to follow in her footsteps cause their is limited positions.
She took a pay cut to work on her feet all day.
This is a recruiter article bragging about how much better it is to work for Costco and they try to make the pay cut seem like not a big deal when there is vastly different perks and benefits.
At 60 hours a week she was making 15.06/hr as a teacher. Base pay at 18.50 is a raise.
