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.

MODERATORS
I worked shifts as an operator in a chemical plant. Took the opportunity to work days about 15 years ago (was about 35 years old then), never had a problem with it. I didn't make any less money because of it, because the 9-5 job was a somewhat promotion. Pro's were for me being all weekends off, like all the people I know. cons were less off time between. Biggest pro; get to be around my kids at more regular times. But it really depends on the jobs.
