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.

When I worked Ina warehouse/yard we'd regularly need to text each other in our off hours for very simple "hey where did you put x" or similar because management couldn't be fucked to help us organize efficiently
I'll help out a fellow wage slave if me taking 15s to reply would save them a few minutes of hassle
But I've only ever done that at non-corporate places where I actually like the co-workers on my pay level, the corporate jobs provided communication software and that shit was programmed to be muted the minute I was off automatically
Oh for sure. I will always answer if it's a co-worker because we're a team and we help each other. Just not for the boss. Fortunately it's rarely been an issue, I've been lucky to have mostly decent bosses in my career.
