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.

Its quite showing how the author paints it as "ultra right" vs "the peoples movement" and connects mile is actions to "policies last attempted by right wing dictatorship" (all quotes not word by word, sorry, am on mobile)
I learn from the article that there were demonstrations and a general strike. But no info on how many took part etc.
All this looks to me like an attempt to paint milei as unpopular and against his people, when in reality his policy was just confirmed in the elections for the lower house.
Also, in my book compensating overtime by days off is protecting the worker. On the one hand the author complains about the maximum amount of daily hours is increased, but then also complains about the workers getting their time back????
Reminds me when the German media cried about his destruction of civil rights (limiting right to assemble). He did that. But the outcome was still way way way more liberal than what we have in Germany. Change matters, and might to be worth criticism. But at least give some relation...
If you are interested why milei is popular, read about what the author is depicting as the peoples movement. Read about Nisman, about a bottomless pit of corruption.
Depicting milei as ultra right is also interesting to me. Would be nice to see this argued citing his policies, not just as a framing. The policy discussed in the article justifies "right of the opposition" but puts him nowhere close to what we see from those I'd call ultra right (meloni, trump, orban to name a few)
