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 is a huge deal. They should be paid from the minute they enter the airport but this is at least a step in the right direction. Another W for unions
Agreed!
This makes no sense. This is a major part of their job. Imagine what would happen if they stopped doing this function altogether - boarding would become unbearable.
Next I'll find out that the pay stops as soon as the doors open and they're not getting paid to help people off the plane or greet them. (Seriously, I hope I don't find this out because it's not true.)
It does stop the second the door opens. No idea if this change fixes that too tho
Well, that's disappointing. Totally do not understand this culture of doing work and not getting paid for it.
