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
Recently, I had to negotiate for a new salary. They gave me the upper range, which was a 30k difference. They asked if id go lower and stayed firm. A day later, i got the new offer
They led with an offer and asked if you would be willing to settle for less? I dont really understand what the strategy was there.
"would you be willing to do the same work for less pay given the choice?"
That's gonna be a hard no from me bud
Honestly if I'm an employer, I'd specifically choose the people who were adamant about their price because when they're working for me they think they're getting what they deserve and the whole relationship improves because of it!
