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.

Not at all. But that "$45,000 sign on bonus?" That was only for experienced, returning agents and only for a limited time (now passed). They didn't say that anywhere in the advertisements. That proves they're willing to lie to further their own ends, and nobody's able to hold them accountable when they do.
The fact that the salary comes out of the taxpayers' pockets also means it's contingent on politics, and the democrats are likely to win in the midterms, and they're starting to indicate that they may actually respond to public pressure and start pushing back.
You only have to look at all the homeless veterans and people killing themselves in VA waiting rooms to see how the empire "rewards" those who serve it. The McDonald's employee who snitched on Luigi never got the reward they'd promised either.
Sign up, be so hated by the public that you have to hide your face, drag innocent people away to secret torture dungeons, get scammed out of your bonus, and yeah maybe you can get your 30 pieces of silver. But at that point, why not just sell crack? More trustworthy employers and less harmful to society.
