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.

"up to $23 an hour".... Doing a whole lotta heavy lifting in this headline.
How is it sane to list the maximum you can make, vs what to expect day 1?!
It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.
I hope so. It would be a nice change compared to... Well... Everything.
Edit: ahhhh see it now. I read it as "up to" alone, but implied "increased to" instead.
English is hard sometimes.
It really is. The fact "up to" can mean either a maximum value, or an increase to a value, is stupid.
Where the 90% off is the triple clearance table that's been inventory they genuinely can't get rid of, while everything else is 10-15% off
