Work Reform
15599 readers

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.

<3 Co-ops. I'm a union member at a co-op. It's as good as it gets for a working class person in the US. Seeing the light was the beginning of my radicalization. Add a little theory and the great awakening was complete. 🫡
Sadly not a member of one, though I'm a union member. How is stuff in there?
Requesting time off is just a formality. There's no harassment for using sick leave. Around 3% raises every year, usually, it's negotiated. We still have a pension with rule of 85. Stand by pay while on call. Full wages paid while serving on jury duty. Some rarer benefits would be around $2k paid towards hearing aids and lasik.
The ability to leave work at work is priceless. There's a line drawn in the sand and it's respected.
We've had some employees paid to retire early, but I'm unaware of any layoffs throughout the history of the company.
It's pretty wonderful. It's the way everyone should be treated regardless of where they're employed. Or unemployed. The profits over people bullshit has gotten outta hand.
