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.

what do you mean? biden walked the picket line! sure he broke the rail strike, but he was there when it didnt count!
An got the rail workers a 14% immediate pay raise, an additional 25% over 5 years, a PTO day, and in the followup as he promised, an additional 4 sicks days and 3 convertible.
He subverted the will of the union using the might of the government. It doesnt matter what happened after that, as a union man that is the definition of anti worker.
I agree, but leaving it out is still lying about what actually happened.
It's not lying at all, omission is only a lie if it's misleading or nefarious, this is neither.
You can certainly make that call for yourself. I disagree.
I mean it's a fact.... You didn't add context you added an excuse. "Oh it's not as bad because x"
Cool story.
And can't defend your actions either. -10 for childish bullshit.
How so? He broke a strike. I said he broke a strike. It can't much more factual then that.
Context is important.
Context for a joke? Do you expect context in a Colbert monologue? I'm not sure if that makes it funnier. My point is factually correct. Its a joke, not a new york times article.
OK.
I was genuinely curious about your view point. If you lack the convictions to defend your characterization of my statement, and me personally by proxy, then maybe you shouldn't be calling me a liar with such authority.
You could read the many, many other comments in the same thread.
You directly called me a liar and I directly asked why. This is weasle behavior. Do better.
I have explained it numerous times already, why repeat myself?
I asked you a direct question and in response you called me a liar. You impugned my integrity and I asked you to defend it. You telling me to go through your comment history is insufficient after you impugned my integrity. If you want anybody to respect your position, you need to respect other people. Otherwise, you're just being a dick on the internet. You're not getting anything done. You're not changing anybody's minds. You're just being an asshole.
Not the words I used actually.
And as mentioned, already answered repeatedly. Enjoy your day.
Didn't realize you were just a fucking idiot. Sorry for wasting your time. I know you got a lot more work than the average person just to get through the day.
Dude, I'm not interested in the internet pissing match where you try and "gotcha". I've repeatedly explained my position, why I believe that, and why the context is important.
As I said. Enjoy your day, we are done.
If you dont want a pissing match then stop pissing on people. You're the worst.
