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.

That must be some American thing. You don't quit until you sign a contract in Europe.
In the UK you can quit before you sign your employment contract, but by accepting the job offer, your contract with your new employer has already started, and so you're protected. They can't legally pull out without compensating you.
I don't remember much about how it works in the UK tbh, I stuck at the same company for over a decade lol.
