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.

Used bolt cutters to open a chain link fence and crowbared open a door.
But
As the judge said 'In any other context, this would be considered breaking and entering but the provisions under the Act do permit these actions.'
There's is a provision in the Telecommunications Act in Australia which says as a landowner, during an emergency you can not restrict a telecommunications tech access to their equipment. It also says a telecommunications tech can dismantle any obstical preventing access to their equipment.
The definition of emergency is left entirely up to the telecommunications company.
So, sounds like it was perfectly legal?
