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 by economy you mean business owners, business real estate, and the stock market, yes. The RTO mandates certainly aren't about protecting the workers or productivity though.
Remember, the workers, buying power, and productivity are part of "the economy" too, it's not just what the stock market is doing. RTO mandates are harming that for jobs that can be done remotely.
Yes I meant what you said, exactly. The part of the economy that serves business owners.
I think you got misunderstood. People thought you meant protecting that part of the economy was a good thing. We're over here wanting "trickle down" economics to come to an end before any of us ever give a shit about businesses. Give us our fair share, or at least a living wage, or burn.
Yes I realise I'll have to make it clearer next time. Thank you.
Don't worry too much, I'm just glad you aren't a bootlicker 🤣
Hope you have a good New Year's, and a good coming year.
Cheers. All the best to you and your loved ones for 2024!
