Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement.

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 love driving. I've had delivery jobs and I really enjoyed them. There is absolutely no fucking way I'm working for anyone that has a fucking camera pointed at me. That is some fucking bullshit. I can't believe anyone works for that shit hole company and puts up with that garbage. No camera, no microphone. I'll do my job. If you don't trust me to do my job, then it's best for the both of us I'm not there.
I understand needing a job. I've been there. Don't put up with that bullshit, unionize, or find something else. There's jobs out there much better.
On a side note, If you drove holding the steering wheel with your middle fingers out, what kind of punishment would that be?
I've got a camera in my work truck. I hate it but I can't make this much money anywhere else. I was actually sent for a drug and alcohol test a few weeks ago because I kept dozing off while I was sitting in the truck on break. I passed because I was nice and charming to the young girl giving the test. The only thing I popped on was weed anyway.
The reason I was nodding off in the truck is I was fucking exhausted from making them a shitload of money.
Hey we noticed after 12 hours in the heat you seem tired. Must be drugs.
