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
Every federal worker just had to start thanks to Biden stripping the decision from individual agencies

Republicans were the only ones asking for it tho, and obviously as soon as Biden did it, they stopped mentioning it.
There's no reason to try and appease Republicans, because they'll never give Dems credit, even if a moderate one does exactly what they want.
Or as we saw with the infrastructure bill
GOP: opposes bill purely for the optics
Dems: push it through anyway
GOP: "look what I did for my constituents"
I was a high-performing federal worker and I left my job because of this. Now I'm making more money in a 100% remote role in private sector. On my way out / during my exit interviews, people kept saying, "Yeah, we're seeing a lot of people leave over the telework policy."
Just a dipshit move by the WH.
