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.

First off, the safety rules are because people die without them. They're there for your protection. The price of them is your boss' problem, not yours, stop worrying on his behalf, you aren't getting paid to do his job.
Second: You need to be angry at the boss instead of the workers. Why do you think they go on break at the exact time? Because if they spend 10 minutes helping you, that's 10 minutes they can't eat their lunch, and if they postpone their break 10 minutes, they'll be written up or fired for not working. The problem is their boss, you're angry at the abused instead of the abuser.
A union employee fired? That would be amazing to see.
You're working the wrong job then
