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.

Insurance wanting employees monitored so they can deny coverage or excuse an increase in premiums is not much of "ok yeah that makes sense".
With that logic our own cars are going start monitoring us and have us hand the data over to insurers so they can let you off the hook for the "privacy fee" or whatever as long as you then don't sing in your own car.
This isn't about risk. Its about humans not being allowed to be humans.
Oh I totally agree and yes we're already on that path.
The solution here is probably more like no cameras spying on your employees for every second of their shift. Give them a job and let them do it or not do it.
