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.

I’d rather use the money I’d pay for union dues to buy the most current video consoles.
Can't believe i remember this as an actual anti union poster slogan.
Anti-union or pro-fun?
I'm a school bus driver and we're unionized (Teamsters) ... at least for now. Our contract states that if ever fewer than than 50% of the drivers are in the union, the contract is voided. A lot of the newer drivers are not signing up for the union because they don't want to pay the dues which are around $80 per month. We are surrounded by non-union school districts that pay their drivers about $8 less per hour and don't provide health insurance, PTO or a pension like we get.
In case this isn't obvious, school bus drivers are generally some dumb motherfuckers.
I hear management will take away pizza parties if we unionize.
No they’ll just have Pizza by Alfredo cater them.
