Yup. My pay will increase 50¢ on January 1st 🥱
What are you going to do with all that?
You should collect gumball machine trinkets.
I'm sure there are some people in the world who when they get raises, they set aside the difference and save it up for an investment of some sort instead of just carrying on their life as normal and spending the extra money as if it was always there. Gumball machine trinkets, woo-hoo.
Maybe. I think most people are going to see their bills increasing by more than this minimum wage increase though
Yup the bills will increase regardless if the minimum wage increases or not
If it doesn't go up in pace with inflation you're getting paid less each year
Working as intended then.
I had a job for a really long time with no raise, finally quit a few months before my job became minimum wage.
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.
