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.

Im in Canada and it’s crazy that a Big Mac meal now costs close to $20. In a great competitive move, Burger King now has a whopper jr meal for $5 which honestly is enough for me. I’ve been taking advantage of it. The thing is, with prices what they are, instead of bringing back the value Menus, these fast food chains need to keep only the value menu, because that was their whole point. Over time the burgers got bigger and crazier and more costly. I just want to go back to getting a regular burger with a normal, non fat person amount of fries and a small drink and not break the bank.
Remember original McDonald’s only really had the small hamburger and cheeseburger and fries, not all these other burgers and that was enough, and kept your fast food meal cheap
That’s interesting to me, I always thought it was more of an American thing. I’m in Canada and a Big Mac meal is 11.49. Breakfast with chicken McMuffin, hash brown, and coffee is $5. Obviously not super cheap like it used to be but it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.
