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.

It needs to be illegal for employers to waste too much of our time.
This goes for interviews, commutes, and other situations where an employee is expected to give up their free time for free.
Thie idea that we owe parts of our lives and self that were never agreed upon when signing the contract needs to go away. The puritan work ethic needs to go away.
And we will need unions to accomplish this.
If they had to pay people for interviews they'd probably be a lot snappier about the process.
Like, sure, I'll do nine hours of interviews if you're paying me $100/hr.
I'm glad I don't work a job where they give tasks as part of interviews. I'd want to invoice them for my work if they did.
