Work Reform
9840 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.

If the system was properly functional without these loopholes, they'd be forced to raise their rates to attract workers. But since they have a captive workforce, they're able to not worry about it
Oh it's better than that: not only do they take a 40% cut of their wages, they charge fees on top of that 40% for transport and washing uniforms.
Not sure about the first item but yeah i read it wrong... they pay fees on top of 40%. Prison reform needs to be a focal political discourse right behind climate change...
