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.

I mean Amazon started it's driving program to undercut UPS -A union shop. How is this not just scabs getting their comeuppance?
Did you really just blame the drivers for this?
The non-union drivers in cooperation with Amazon* actively undermined another established union. Sure, yeah. I'd say until they organize or shut-down, they can share some of the blame.
There is no game-changing paradigm shift to Amazons delivery driver business model. It was always simply to undercut an established middle-man that already had unionized. It's just deregulation & union-busting with an extra degree of separation. It's disappointing that so many laborers don't recognize this.
