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.

I guess capitalism isn't always perfectly dead set on breaking itself.
Sooner or later, reality teaches it's lessons.
More basic dishonesty from McDonald's and from Fortune. If he really wanted to raise the lowest hourly wages for his salaries, he could have done so already. There's no need to wait for a minimum wage increase.
In addition to what others have already said (McD paying above minimum wage), only you paying more leads to the following:
- your competitors gain an advantage as they have lower labor cost
- only a tiny fraction of your customers have more disposable income because the rest of the population is unaffected
- and even then, for that tiny fraction, you'd have made more money if you hadn't paid it to them in the first place, because they're not spending it all on you, and also taxes
So for them, they need to make sure their competitors pay more money to their employees.
Also, their food is garbage, you're doing yourself a favor not eating there.
