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.

As a Dane, I have always been fucking shocked at the slave-like working conditions Americans work under. They barely get any time off as it is. What do you mean too many holidays?
The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.
Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me
So true. True efficiency can only be achieved when human labour is finite. Look at the small countries of norther europe. /my first comment on lemmee :D

“The Dude” runs SJW, and the speed and uptime and community are just great. (I am otherwise unaffiliated, just a fan)
Matrix channel’s here btw
I am sorry, who is "The Dude" and what is SJW? Happy to join if I understand what these are.
The problem is that in Germany, our Chancellor is currently on the same trip saying that 'the people don't work enough' even though most people (who have a full time job) already work about 40 hours and many woman would like to work more but can't because there are not enough daycare centres and retirement homes.
My wife worked for Siemens-Gamesa for a long time, and German managers were always surprised how the Danes would just straight up decline meetings after 16 and leave early if they had to pick up kids.
They didn't worry about that at all, of course, because their wives generally didn't work full time.
That's what they get when you don't fight for your rights.
Look at it now, semi-fascist for half a year and they're still basically singing Kumbaya.
They get what they deserve.
