Work Reform
9823 readers

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.

I actually like my job. It's meaningful and fulfilling.
But I don't get paid by the hour, I get paid by the amount of work I do. If it's slow but I'm still required to be there, that shows that my employer doesn't respect my time and doesn't prioritize my income, and that's offensive to me.
Reading a book or dicking around on a phone goes against professional standards; even if it wouldn't endanger my position I still wouldn't do it. I want to work when I'm getting paid and get paid when I'm working, and make the most amount of money in the fewest number of hours so I can go home to be with my family.
