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.

My hair stylist (owns her salon) recently implemented a no-gratuities policy. Everyone has to charge whatever they think is fair to make up for there not being a gratuity and clients know exactly how much the job will cost with no pressure to go higher. This is how everything ought to be.
You're describing a regular transaction. Maybe next you'll post sales tax on prices too!
