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.

Did not know Aldi were in the States?
Aldi Nord controlled stores in the US are Trader Joes, Aldi Sud stores in the US are just Aldi
Got one in my redneck suburb. We almost exclusively shop there.
We have both Aldi here but they're differently named. One is just Aldi, the other is Trader Joe's.
It's our super low cost grocer, that has in recent years become more high quality. When I was a kid (80s-90s) it was like "never buy fresh anything there because it's all crap" but these days it's all pretty decent quality stuff. Not like farmstand good, but better than Walmart.
I've noticed refrigerated stuff and produce from Aldi tends to go bad pretty fast, but as long as you use it up within a few days it's fine
Yeah, they've been in Texas at least 20 years. Looks like they are in most of the states in the eastern half of the continental US and the states along the southern border.
We have some in the Midwest as well
They have been here in the US for a long time, I think their first american store opened in the 70s. Personally I love Aldi I shop at my local one here in Missouri at least once a week. Their price on extra firm tofu just can't be beat its at least 1/3 the price it is at my other local supermarkets.
Look at ALDIs locations: https://stores.aldi.us/
Yes, they're not the most common but they're in most places here. Lidl too but there's far less of them (apparently only in the northeast)
