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.

I meant to ask if it isn't illegal or something like that?
Around here one could get a nice pay out of it by suing. So much that company even thinks about it.
Paid time off is not a guaranteed/protected benefit in the US. Even getting paid for the hours you work is lightly protected.
You're lucky to have a job; and you want to get paid too? Damn entitled Zoomers.
Makes me wonder if McShitpants in the article ever tried to an unpaid internship program for managers.
