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.

Is that in project 2025 ? I dont remember but they are on track for sure.
Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.
Yeah, sure, good luck only working 150 days, or even taking a whole day off, when you're supposed to tend to farmland and animals. That's like having a holiday from being a parent
This isn't entirely true - someone calculated that, on a good year, a peasant could only work 150 days a year towards the rent of their own farmland. Then they have to actually work that land, take care of their animals, and manually do basically every industrial process we take for granted to get food in their belly. They didn't work 150 days a year then go off with a cheque that will sort them out for the rest of the year.
wasn't this confirmed false?
It absolutely is false and it's very misleading. Living as a peasant would suck complete ass.
Get off the golf course yourself then you orange turd
He sucks at it too apparently
I dont know, seems like the golf course is the absolute best place for him to be.
That would be under the golf course.
Pretty sure his body would work as anti-fertilizer.
Then put him under the bunker. IIRC a bunker was one of the best places for adolf too.
Thinly veiled attempt to get rid of juneteenth. So just the usual rightwing racism.
Happens in Germany too right now. People really need to find back to Unions and take more Power over their rights, before they just Cut it off
Same in Denmark. This is our first year without "Store Bededag" (single day holiday), which our useless fucking government decided to remove, as part of their war-consent-manufacturing.
Since both heads of state were heavily "sponsored" by blackrock et al., similiar policies are to be expected.
Happening all over the globe. The capitalist hegemony is getting scared because their system is collapsing in on itself and, through the imperial boomerang, are beginning to employ practices only performed abroad on the interior in order to maintain their power. The US is just far ahead of the curve due to its lack of a functioning political leftwing keeping things in check.
Now is most certainly the time for people to unionize and start relearning why unions formed in the first place: so workers can band together to exert their political will and take ownership over their workplace from a parasitic class that has only ever existed to exploit our labor.
The mans an idiot
Nah F that, most Americans barley get any paid time off if any. If anything we need MORE.
Yeah, it's hilarious to hear "workers want less" when what they really mean is less forced unpaid time off, obviously if they want money they'd want to work. I'm sure those people would prefer paid time off to having to work.
Afaik, what he does is called manufacturing consent.
They mostly don't get any of those "holidays" paid anyway which is why they don't like them. You're lucky if you get Christmas and Thanksgiving paid on top of your two weeks of PTO. The rest are days the banks close and some other places give their people unpaid days off.
Says the obese pig to whom EVERY day is a holiday and a reason to golf. I never knew that POTUS was a part time position. America is fucked if there's ever a crisis before 11:00am, on a week end, or on a golfing day......
11 am? Hey he gets up daily at 4 am and "truths" on his website for a couple hours while on the toilet
maybe there are too many non-working presidents right now?
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Translation: we shouldnβt give black people in america a federal holiday because i am a racist and demented old man who is increasingly irrelevant in society.

This guy LITERALLY raped a 13 year old back in the day, and only golfs.
Technically, there is no law requiring a company to provide PTO or close on Holidays. Its up to the company, not this stupid bastard.
The government is however required to give most employees several days off throughout the year which might be what heβs bitching about
βThe workers donβt want itβ. He had about as much sense of this as he does of a concept of health care plan.
Workers. Hate. Paid. Holidays.
We've been saying it for years, but nobody listens. The liberal nanny state keeps forcing me to stay home, spend time with my family, or even go on vacation, when all I really want to do is stare at spreadsheets for another eight hours.
Enough is enough!

Biggest problem with non-working "holidays" is that they only apply to certain more privileged people who also get paid to not work. Everyone else either sits at home unpaid for the day, or has to work (most often without any additional compensation) to support those who do get the paid day off.
Itβs not actually a privilege to have paid time off and paid holidays, itβs the norm across the developed world. United States is just creepy
As a Dane, I have always been fucking shocked at the slave-like working conditions Americans work under. They barely get any time off as it is. What do you mean too many holidays?
The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.
Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me

Ah yes. The obligatory racist whinging on Juneteenth. Fat lazy bastard who doesn't get to work before 11 am because he requires "executive time" (tv time).
