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.

This only works if your pay doesn't get reduced, which it always does. Obama cut full-time and suddenly everyone had to get two jobs to pay rent
Apparently you didn't even read the headline.
I'm old enough to know what the end goal of this is, corporations cutting peoples hours to "trim the fat" and getting away with it like always
Only a complete idiot actually believes this crap. Companies are not going to keep your wages if they can cut them, and they will. So a 32 hour work week will do absolutely nothing but reduce take home pay in the end
This is the same as Obama forcing workers to get 2 jobs just to make ends meet and this is all these policies wind up doing, giving less to the people and taking away more from them
That is why we need unions.
That's what people keep missing, astonishingly.
