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.

$0.57 per subscriber per year sounds pretty fair and reasonable to me for streaming.
Edit: That's what SAG-AFTRA were asking for and AMPTP declined.
I don't know. It's kind of weird for everyone asking for residuals for doing what they were already paid to do. I'm all for increasing their normal pay, but asking for a pay increase and getting residuals on top of everything you touch is kind of reaching. I'd kill to get a cut of the pie that every AI server I bring back up generates, on top of my raises.
It's more about the fact that why does the streaming service get to earn money in perpetuity for someone else's work and the creators of that work don't get to as well?
If you are jealous of that model, you should probably be fighting for it for yourself as well, not blocking the way for the ones who are trying to fight for themselves.
