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.

Exactly. It's stuff like this that's convinced me to join a tech union myself. If you're in the UK, you might consider the one I joined.
I'm in Canadian manufacturing and am already part of the Teamsters union!
Teamsters, fuck yeah!
I'm a Teamster as a school bus driver. When I first joined the Teamsters, I started making a joke about getting a phone call at midnight to go break some kneecaps down at the docks. One of my more psycho coworkers responded to my joke with a dead serious "I'd like that". Same dude thinks us bus drivers should carry guns.
