I hate that most strikes and boycotts are against things I would never buy in the first place.
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.
Why? Wtf kind of self-inflated narcissistic take is this?
Is it really that they've made progress with Ford? I thought I heard a about a week ago that Ford fired several hundred strikers. Am I correct about that? If so, seems like fear to me.
Ford has allegedly agreed to end the two teir system, increasing pay as well as some other demands I can't remember off the top of my head. Basically Ford seems to be negotiating while the other two are just throwing up their hands and saying they'll just move things overseas before meeting any union demands.
Thank you for explaining that.
