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.

10 is better than what we have, but don't start with what you are willing to negotiate down to. Start strong and be willing to compromise if that is what is needed. I don't think mandatory minimum days off is a controversial issue except for the ruling class.
Who are you giving advice to? I don't think Bernie can hear you, and even if he could, I'm 99% sure he would passionately explain precisely why you're wrong and the methodology behind his decision.
I'm stating my opinion. I would love to hear why he chose the days that he did. I'm not saying he is an idiot or wrong, I'm sure he knows what he can get as he has been in the Senate long enough to know these things.
Fair enough, no further comments.
