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 would feel less offended if on every bill they would just raise the price my 20% and give that to the workers.
If they raised the prices 20%, most of that's not going to the workers. You know it and I know it.
They effectively have, via tipping. And the employer pays less so ultimately the employee gets screwed no matter what.
The fact they look to us as the problem and not their employers just tells me the scheme is working. Count the money, twirl the moustache and pet the evil lap cat, villains of the world. You've won as always, and the downtrodden are still too busy infighting over scraps to realize whose boot they're under.
Try greater than 40%. A tip is for service provided directly to you. If the employer increases the servers wages by 20% then that's every hour they work and there may not be any customers for some of the servers shift.
