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.

How much they match contributions to 401k's I think. So it looks like they match up to 10% now.
It's a straight up contribution. For every dollar paid in wages, the company also contributes ten cents to the employees 401k. No employee contributions are required.
This is kind of wild to me. In Australia we have a similar thing called Superannuation. Everyone is entitled to 11% from their employer, going up to 12% by the 1 July 2025. Unions bargain for agreements with extra contributions on top of that base percentage.
"Everyone is entitled to 11% from their employer"
That sounds an awful lot like a socialism and from what I've been told just doing a socialism once will bring a dictator to your door who will genocide your entire population.
