This is huge! We need to keep the wave of unionization going! My neighbor has a bumper sticker that reads, "Don't like Unions? Maybe you don't like Weekends either." Unions are responsible for effectively helping to create the concept of a 40 hour work week. I think this should be reduced to a 30 hour work week so instead of 1/3+ of our day be spent at work, we reduce it to 1/4+ some if needed.
I still see job listings recently asking for up to 7 day weeks during busy periods. Like, what.
I missed the closing quote after either, and was like "omg this is one big bumper sticker!".
HA! But it is a great quote though, isn't it? ๐
I would love to see this movement spread to other tech companies.
Good for them. Really proud of this generation for pushing back on capatlist bullshit
Wow! This is HUGE!
Hell yeah!
Sega still exists?
...Yes? They are still one of Japan's biggest publishers.
Like a Dragon (Yakuza), Persona, Total War, and yes, even Sonic somehow, sell pretty well. And they publish a lot more than that, misses and hits alike.
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.
