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.

Holy fuck, I have no idea what they were on before but 31% is monumental! Good for them :)
...over 3 years. From 19 to 25 if my math is correct.
That's pretty quick and seems like a reasonable timeframe to expect corporate to get their books in order
Quicker, actually. No one ever reads the damned articles. It jumps to $24 straight away, and then $26 in 2026.
Thanks for sharing real numbers. A 31% increase from $1 an hour would be just $1.31 an hour.
