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.

That part is questionable, but if you're just working 10a - 6p, it's fine. If you're making another person cover for you until 9:02, it's absolutely not fine.
The company has a backup plan for this (they offer extra shifts to cover tardiness/absences and someone always picks them up), not to mention that we're overstaffed almost every single day; bottom line is that I'm not worried about it. It's the company's responsibility to have enough staff on-hand, not mine.
That's a management issue lol
Look at this wagie discovering solidarity all of a sudden.
8-5 with unpaid lunch is normal here. 830-45 is "late" even if you work til 530-45. Just my experience
