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.

My last job they really didn't like us doing nothing during down time, they really wanted us to be sweeping the floor or some other busy-work. There was a lot of work to be done like that, so it got boring, fast.
Now I have a job with tons of downtime and my boss is explicitly fine with us reading books, playing video games, watching Netflix, etc. as long as we are responsive when customers come in. It's a great gig (although low-paying), especially for a college student.
Now if I get bored it's my own fault.
