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.

Is there any background to their strike?
They don't want the Observer (Sunday paper) to be sold off. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/guardian-writers-on-strike-over-observer-sale/ar-AA1vfVC8

How odd! I think it was working without a VPN when I shared it ..
Strange! I just wouldn't work when I first tried, but I VPN'd from USA and it worked. Maybe something else happened the first time and I'm misattributing the success.
