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.

I worked on one once. I wouldn't be a passenger, since the only entertainment is gambling, drinking and incredibly bad stage shows twice a day. At least guests only stayed a few days and not five months. I also got paid less than the US minimum wage because it technically wasn't an American business, despite being Norwegian Cruise Line of America and based in Hawaii.
I think it depends on the company you're cruising with. Disney don't fuck around. I've heard Carnival is basically bottom of the barrel.
I don't know much about cruises, but I'm sure it's all very dependent on different variables.
