Work Reform

JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon said during a Wednesday town hall he didn’t care how many employees signed a petition to bring back hybrid work. The company in mid-January announced a 100% return-to-office mandate, which angered many employees, who argue the move “disproportionately” pushed out women, caregivers, senior employees, and employees with disabilities.

Someone hurry up and make this man obsolete.

More than half of factory workers who produce garments for the fashion industry are women. This means that when we talk about protecting human rights in the garment and fashion industry, we must also specifically consider the rights of women. Many of the issues facing garment workers, like low wages and precarious employment, disproportionately affect women.

Gender discrimination is rife in the garment industry. Women face a persistent wage gap, earning less than men for comparable work. They also endure rampant gender-based violence and harassment in the workplace.

Empowering women workers is crucial for combating gender discrimination. When states and companies suppress labour rights, such as the right to form unions, they not only undermine workers’ rights but also specifically impede women’s ability to advocate for change. The garment industry lacks sufficient safeguards for workers, especially women. Empowering women workers with greater authority and decision-making opportunities ensures that any new safeguard introduced by employers are designed and implemented based on the genuine, lived experiences of those it aims to protect.

Unionizing is already going to be a uphill battle in this Trump era. But don't quit. Don't feel like it's a hopeless cause. They want you to quit. They want you to be angry and get rid of you.

If you want change, then stay. Do just enough. Wait for an opening and force them to fire you.

That's what they did during the democrat presidents.

A solid example of where work reform is needed.

What about other government workers, such as military, teachers, social workers, etc?
