Work Reform

11130 readers

1893 users here now

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.

These CEOs always claim they can't do good for workers, because they need to please the shareholders. So now that the CEO of Tesla is sinking the company, where are these supposed all powerful merciless shareholders at? If I was a shareholder of Tesla I'd demand felon's head for doing all this damn to my investment.

It's a meme stock, not an 'investment'.

And now Musk has parlayed it, and his various pyramid scheme-like companies into replacing as much of the US government as he can get away with with his junk.

The US will suffer.

You’d have to be very dense to be CEO and get political at all…

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

CEOs and politics go hand in hand. It's the public broadcast that Elon can't seem to curb that's the problem.

There's got to be tons of lawsuits right? Like all the people that have been fired and tons of people being affected negatively by musk probably have class action lawsuits and stuff?

I am getting brain rot through his trash talk

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 33 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

If he admires the man so much, why isn’t he following in his footsteps?

Coward.

He should just skip to the last chapter

He is. Hitler didn't start with exterminating huge swaths of people, or killing himself.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 13 points 15 hours ago

They mean that they want him to skip to that.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

The most generous interpretation of this that I can give is, "if I ransack the government, the government won't be able to kill millions." Questionable logic.

The guy just enjoys adding to the number of times "Hitler" is said online.

I know people need to eat and times are difficult, but I would have quit way before he said that. I still wonder why he has so many employees left.

[–] balssh@lemm.ee 74 points 19 hours ago

Well because US is exactly shaped for the employee to be a modern slave: no social security net in case you are jobless so you have to get rolled over by the boss. Breaking point for most isn't the morality of the company but when they are endangered or can't provide for their families...

I made this fortune through my own hard work!!!

Also, the company did some terrible stuff all on its own.

This will do wonders for him in Germany.

Not. At this rate the German gov might start sanctioning his local company/factory.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 3 points 9 hours ago

Seize the factory to make military equipment for Ukraine.

That would piss him off.
