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.

Someone actually figured out that a service company competing with a shit ton of other service companies in a service economy needs people that work service jobs to be able to afford their services. They won't raise wages themselves alone because it's not like McDonald's workers will spend the raised wages solely at McDonald's. They have other essentials and non-Mcdonalds services to pay for. They need every place to have their minimum wage increased and then McDonald's try to capture a larger portion of everyone's higher income that exceeds their higher labor cost. Stagnant incomes means non-essential services like McDonald's get squeezed out
i read that in the calm and convincing voice of cardamon, the 8 y.o. landlord of Bee and Puppycat, who's the most reasonable character in the entire show.
this has nothing to do with what you said; i just find it amazing how i associate certain voices to certain written pieces of text.
