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 shit, 17/day? I fill my tank once every two weeks, so like $4/day in gas at most.
Parking, transit, gas, insurance, wear and tear on vehicle, fancy office clothes, etc. It costs more than just gas to get to work for most folks.
This is why I ride an ebike to work. Substitute cash for risk of death
Dying is cheaper for you
Didn't consider insurance and being blue collar is nice as far as clothes go.
Good steel toed shoes aren't cheap.
Company gets us a deal on red wing composite toe boots.
AUD, but yeah about $10 USD
A good lowball figure estimate your daily commute cost if driving would be to use the government reimbursement rate. It tends to be lower than what it actually costs, but it is a figure that can be referenced. Don't ask me what it is now, because it changes all the time
