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.

Yeah there's that myth that if you make people work more hours more work will be done. It all makes sense on the spreadsheet!
Reality is the workers are human, humans get tired and you aren't getting more work out of anyone by making them work more hours. You're just making someone be at a place longer because you can.
Its basic math. A woman needs 9 months for a pregnancy, surely two women would only need 4.5 months.
The spreadsheet confirms what you just said. Adding it to the corporate policy manual now.
Also note that a pregnant woman has two brains, so they can work twice as fast!
