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.

Where are you getting pizza that it's so expensive? $10-$12 will get you a large pepperoni most places in Canada. I'd say pizza delivered averages closer to $20 but it's leagues better than store-bought. Homemade is a different story, but not everyone can justify that.
Yes, that is really expensive... It was the first time I had ever paid anything like that much for food of any sort.
1 overpriced pizza that is gone in 20 minutes, or 1 Minecraft that I will have forever? That was the kind of calculation I was making, Minecraft was cheaper back then of course.
I guess it depends how you value food, but as someone who doesn't enjoy cooking, that's still less than restaurant prices. I take it you don't eat out much in general then?
Friends often push eating at restaurants and I go but it wouldn't be something I would otherwise choose to do or suggest.
A meal I could have made in 20 mins in the air fryer, but it costs 3 hours of wages.
