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.

What happens when the restaurants aren't satisfied with the government service and decide to go with some third party? Or run their own, as many still do?
I don't see the issue with a private/public option
OP wants it made public to go prevent abuse. If you have both we're back to square one
If the public provides a good service and price then the private will have to be at least equally affordable and and good service in order to compete
Unless it's subsidized, it's very unlikely it will be able to compete on price
Same as what happens when people use FedEx instead of the post office. They pay more for premium service.
