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.

They also tend to make them stand at the beginning of their lane when they don't have customers. Apparently a light signaling that they are available just isn't enough.
Edit: My bad. I've never seen this at Aldi or Lidl. Just other US chains like Food Lion.
Hereabouts*, the lanes each have a sign with their number. Glows red = closed, glows green = open. Super convenient, and I've seen it across multiple store chains, so it's not like it's only one store doing it.
*Southern Germany, observed across different cities, though I can't vouch that it is universal
I have never seen that. Where I am at they will pull every idle cashier to do work before the line becomes idle.
