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 think is actually a thing and it's despicable too. They 'eliminate' positions in one location then have your spot in another city for you 'if you want it', when moving can be financially crippling or undesirable. Then they can recreate the position whenever they damn well feel like it.
And pay the new hire doing your job an entry level rate instead of the pay you might have had for working there a while.
It's not, a company doing this to someone falls under "constructive dismissal" and is considered a layoff.
They just hope you don't know that
It depends. If there is an employment contract, then it would probably be a violation of that contract. But if there is no contract, then they can lay off employees for any reason not protected by law, or no reason at all.
