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 love driving. I've had delivery jobs and I really enjoyed them. There is absolutely no fucking way I'm working for anyone that has a fucking camera pointed at me. That is some fucking bullshit. I can't believe anyone works for that shit hole company and puts up with that garbage. No camera, no microphone. I'll do my job. If you don't trust me to do my job, then it's best for the both of us I'm not there.
I understand needing a job. I've been there. Don't put up with that bullshit, unionize, or find something else. There's jobs out there much better.
On a side note, If you drove holding the steering wheel with your middle fingers out, what kind of punishment would that be?
This is on a different similar note. I work for a big hardware store that isnt home depot. My job trusts me enough to take home keys to the store, and drive a 10 thousand pound forklift whenever I want, but I have to use the worst safety box opener I've ever seen. Makes me so mad because it just doesn't work half the time.
I think a lot of times this is driven by someone cutting themselves and creating a pile Of paperwork and costing money. Worked for a fast food chain and we had to use a chainmail glove to use a knife for the same reason.
That sounds annoying, but my personal rule is any time I have the opportunity to wear armor like a medieval knight, do it.
