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.

No, that’s the stupidest shit. Why should you take a cut in pay?? What warped mind fuck world are you living where you think you have to give up a fifth of your wages for this right??
Sure, sure, so just rephrase the statement. Many workers believe working in the office justifies 25% additional compensation (80 to 100% of what they are paid today). That doesn't mean workers shouldn't be paid more, it's just capturing the delta in compensation required to justify in person work
I'm paying a fifth of my wage commuting and eating lunches alone. Taking the cut is a net positive. Like the other commenters said it's totally bs that it has to be considered at all. No pay cut since is Needed since productivity doesn't go down.
