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.

If they signed the offer, is that not a contract? Do they not have a pretty clear breach of contract case here?
No, the offer doesn't bind parties to sign a contract, it only cements contract details in advance. Both parties can walk away at any point without any explanation.
It's like a price sticker in the supermarket - it tells you how much something costs and the retailer must respect that. But you are not forced to buy anything upon seeing a sticker.
Right to work baby! At-will employment means "You can leave any time you want, but we can fire you any time we want."
Yeah, I guess I forgot where I lived for a moment and took for granted my union contract.
