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.

You don't fight racism with more racism, dude. It's like fighting flooding by opening the fire hydrants.
How's the weather in St. Petersburg? Or are you in Moscow, Тролль? Do you have heat at Bolshoy Kislovsky Pereulok? Or are you at Prospekt Novoyasenevskii, Building 23?
If you're in Canada, I hope they're at least paying you and you're not doing their work for free.
I'll remove this now that the putinazi's comments have been removed and their jimmies rustled.
Germany is not the only country trying 4 day work weeks. Other countries trying and normalizing a 4 day work week include Belgium, Iceland, and France.
Estonia and many other countries have had companies in it try out 4 day work weeks.
Belgium has legalized the 10H/D - 4D/W system, not the 32 hours a week system.
Yeah, we must be careful as to not muddle the waters here. Employees want 32 hour weeks while bosses are trying to give them 40 hour weeks, shoehorned into four days, instead, to "improve efficiency." These two are not the same.
Which is very dumb, since the human brain can't be efficient for long periods of time, let alone 10 hours straight.
I'd honestly still prefer 10 hours a day system over no change at all. Although my view is biased and flawed as i work trades and my hours are very inconsistent. 55-60 hours a week is common and honestly an even 40 hours would feel like a break to me. I've cosidered if i could get my employer on board with 10 hours 3-4 days a week in the future after ive bought and paid for a house.
"I'm not a racist. Only Germans are racists. It's in their blood. Fact. Facts don't care about your feelings. Wanna know what else is in their blood? Hemoglobin. Fact. Facts don't care about your feelings. Prove me wrong. You can't. Checkmate atheist."
