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.

It wasn't ever about productivity, it was about control.
It's not about control, it's about trying to protect the economy from uncertainty.
Edit: to clarify: the part of the economy that serves large business owners (business real estate stocks, the shares of their company and the stock market in general). I really don't think the majority of managers care that much about control.
If by economy you mean business owners, business real estate, and the stock market, yes. The RTO mandates certainly aren't about protecting the workers or productivity though.
Remember, the workers, buying power, and productivity are part of "the economy" too, it's not just what the stock market is doing. RTO mandates are harming that for jobs that can be done remotely.
Yes I meant what you said, exactly. The part of the economy that serves business owners.
Yes I realise I'll have to make it clearer next time. Thank you.
Cheers. All the best to you and your loved ones for 2024!
