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.

Man, that's really good
Compared to zero, yes, but employers can, and I know some that actually do, match up to 100%.
Edit: looks like there are a few that match 200%
Based on what someone else said, this isn't a match but a straight up contribution. So if that is to be believed, it's even better...
From the supplemental agreement regarding the personal savings plan (exhibit G, available at uaw.org/gm2023)
"The Company shall increase its contribution to an Eligible Employee's Account from 6.4% to 10% of each such Employee's Eligible Weekly Earnings with such increase to be implemented by December 31 2023, with contributions made retroactive to October 23, 2023"
