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.

Flight attendants are covered by the Railway Labor Act. They can't actually strike. The President can forcibly prevent them from striking. There are serious penalties to be had for any kind of illegal strike.
So what's been going on instead is an "unorganized" definitely-not-a-job-action where some individual flight attendants do a bad job on service while still fulfilling all of their safety duties.
