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.

Just so you know, writing increasingly longer replies doesn’t sway me. I didn’t bother with most of that.
sway you from what? I am not trying to change your opinion or position.
“has never been the result of any union” is simply them stating that they try to make efforts to be responsive to employees without the need for a union in the first place. That’s it. They didn’t discourage unions in the statement.
Now I’m back to “I’m sorry they didn’t word it to your exact liking.”
Now, seriously, I have other things to do today than argue about wordsmithing to make Marianne happy.
ok, did not realize we were arguing outside of the academic sense.
You read as ignorant for ignorance sake
A union is always a positive for employees. Company's won't acknowledge this as any poor treatment can go unchecked for the most part.
Even if the company is as compassionate as costco would like us to believe having a union is still a risk that Costco would see as cheaper to avoid.
Cool story, my opinion remains the same. Now I’m blocking your own ignorance, bye.
"uh oh someone showed how I was being asinine. Time to block them so I can ignore that inconvenient fact!"
What’s asinine is that I’m likely your senior by at least a couple of decades and am well aware of unions, how they operate, and how companies react to them, and yet I don’t block more of you shitheads. I’ve been around the block long enough and have worked in enough industries to appreciate how different this reaction from Costco management was, even if many of you are too jaded to acknowledge it. But keep acting like you’re educating someone if it makes you feel better. My opinion remains the same.
edit: and now that I think about it, you’re probably also block-worthy, so you can join him.
I appreciate you continuing to prove my point.
