Work Reform
9856 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.

America is a savage country that hates its women.
How come maternity or even better parental leave ever on the agenda?
What about making employers justify layoffs beyond daddy said it's good?
Nothing that would matter to every working person is ever on the agenda, then we wonder how corpos can do this to us.
America is a savage country that hates everyone that is not rich.
That's more like it. I got laid off last year after 5 years. I work in IT and trying to find a job in my field is a miserable process. They'll string you along for weeks and then be like "no thanks". The application process is a nightmare as well.
Have you seen or politicians (on the right especially)? They're decrepit, weird ghouls.
Gereatric nepo babies do b like that.
New law:
If you got pregnant with an employer's promise of maternity leave they should be on the hook for all 9 months.
They can either keep you on and get work out of you or they can fire you 2 months in but they're paying you all 9 months + 3 month maternity leave post partum.
Here in France it is punishable by law to fire someone during a maternity leave. This should be the norm, and then some.
All the old people think women shouldn't be working so they are against pro-natal workplace policies and a disturbingly large amount of young people are doom-pilled enough they think pro-natal workplace policies are unfair to them because they don't want to have kids.
Yeas we should make policy around desires of gereatrics...
Nothing savage about it!
Also, I doubt anyone ever considered what 25 year old wany besides if it benefits the regime
