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.

I spoke up in a recent meeting about how big of a pay cut it would be to come back into the office. Supervisor and even coworkers were just like …ya.
Alright, so everyone has just accepted this shit as inevitable!?
Hell, no. I was hired remote, the position was approved as remote, and remote is where I'm going to stay.
If I go job hunting, that's my #1 criteria. I took less money because remote, and because health insurance. I stand by that decision today, and would do the same again.
Paying more for not offering remote is the bare minimum for office workers
