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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_public_holidays?wprov=sfla1
my schools kinda faraway so we got an extra three days of holiday because of the transportation protests
yay political instability?
From this list, it looks like the US and Vietnam are actually tied for the lowest, with 6 each.
One of Vietnam's holidays, Tet, last 7 days, though. So that 12 total days off.
Huh. So they just chill for a week straight? That's pretty cool.
China and Russia with 13, 14.
They work 6 days a week though. So subtract 52 days a year from that 35 and they are 11 days short of the US with 6. They are worse off.
Where's Cuba?
South of Florida but North of Jamaica.
