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.

I will say 95% of the time I agree with this statement. self propagating meetings are the bane of my existence.
but every now and then you just get someone that cannot understand you and every now and then after four or five emails or ten IMs I will just call somebody up and talk to them for 5 minutes and it's done.
for most people totally unnecessary but you don't always get to choose the people you work with and their level of reading comprehension.
Those people I usually need to take to the actual hardware, like a test station, where I can show them stuff, while explaining.
The telephone often didn't make much difference to mails regarding comprehension...
yeah, sometimes it's still not enough
