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.

half the time it's so hard to get hired i feel. like sure, I'm 16 with no experience, but this is fucking chipotle my guy
And then you have companies requiring everything under the sun and experience for an entry level position paying Chipotle wages... It's disgusting.
Companies want a unicorn without paying for it.
Or they could (a) invest in their existing staff to keep them on at far less, or (b) be willing to train.
Labor isn't seen as a resource but rather an expense. The way so many companies treat their employees is wholly predicated on seeing them as a cost center (much like It) and not an asset they are selling/loaning for revenue.
