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'm gonna put in minimum effort regardless of pay. It's capitalism. I'm being forced to work so I don't die. I don't want to work. But since I have to, I will do the bare minimum.
So you think the rest of us should work, keep the world turning and support you? You can always homestead some land, grow/hunt/catch your own food, weave your own clothes, all that. LOL, if you think you're forced to work now.
Haven't been at my job for a month, GM and 2 of the AGMs are already noticing me.
I work hard, am already stronger mentally and physically, already getting better work and better schedules. Got pulled in the GM's office while walking by, "Hey Shalafi, we've been talking about you! How would you feel about doing $better_job next month?"
Meanwhile, the lazy get part-time work on the shitty night shift. You're a night shift guy.
The good ol' argument: You don't like capitalism? Be a cave man. XD And yes, I am working night shifts. I get to do less and get paid 20% more than the day shift.
And you can mostly live your life separately from the rest of the troglodytes on the surface. I almost envy you.
