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.

"McDonald's is a job for high schoolers, it's not a career!"
Then why are they open during school hours, and why do you go there during your lunch break, Gladys, when kids are "at school" and can't "flip burgers"?
Yeah if they pay a living wage to everyone then high schoolers could work part time for real too which would also be better.
I'm glad you asked, the answer is:
CHILD LABOR
Florida: Let's expand the work experience program to backfill immigrant labor!
