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.

Relying on maternity money from a company is really some third world shit. It should be provided by the state. Now the company is welcome to add further compensation and that's a nice perk but it shouldn't be needed.
If the company offers it the company must make good on the promise come time. That's all I'm saying.
Free healthcare is obviously a requirement for civilization, as is maternal leave.
I'm saying that the companies themselves cannot have empty promises like this. The act of conception was at very least influenced by the company's offer of maternal leave.
They should be on the hook - Make good what you have promised.
Your initial comment reads like the opposite of that.
It was supposed to be a reply in the other chain, idk why it became a to level comment...
Ahhh, makes more sense in that respect
