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.

If the UAW prevails on 30%+ wage hike, and/or 4 day week Tesla won't have any option other than doing some sort of high wage increase or reduced hours. Not doing so will almost certainly cause its workers to unionize.
I wonder if the UAW would settle for a 9 day 2 weeks, might be harder to plan work around though for the manufacturers than a consistent 4 day
The GM plant near me currently does alternating 6 day and 5 day weeks, I'm not sure if that's the same across all of their plants but there is already precedent within their system for inconsistent week lengths.
Wouldn’t you just do half day fridays or something?
