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.

My employer is asking me to come in 3x a week when on the bench. Maybe 2x when assigned on a project.
I don't live far from work, but I spend on bus tickets just to go to and come back from the office. Buying a monthly bus pass isn't worth it for me considering how much I go out. The bus fare increased quite a bit in the past 5 years.
Plus I have to buy lunch everytime I go because I can't carry a lunch with an the equipment. And food from restaurants or food courts have become ridiculously expensive.
I'd be willing to go once or twice a week. More than that is useless and costly.
