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.

"We are all like a family here.. so nobody asks questions and just do as they’re told or else they go to the naughty corner!"
Abusive Families are Families too...
Dad is an alcoholic. Mum is psychologically tormenting everyone. Older half brother really wants to fuck.
Just don't go in the room alone with your uncle!
Heard a similar thing too many times
Literally how abrahamic religions work. Do not ask, just do whatever you're told and be happy when awful things happen since god is testing you.
That family bit is a massive red flag for everyone to be aware of. That's how they rope you in with empty promises, broken dreams, and no raises for the next 10 to 15 years. It's good to have a positive working culture, but if the only emphasis is the work family, skip to next job.
Yup. If your employer uses the, "we're all one big family" then you're in for a real bad time.
Because sooner or later, they're going to make you choose between their fake "family" and your real one.
