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.

This is one of those open and shut FMLA violations that even shitty companies can't get away with though and they know it.
The lady will be canned one way or another once they get back to the office because they violated some bullshit policy about how you can't talk to the press or some bullshit. Will probably take a couple months and involve a PIP for "poor performance"
Very few Amazon warehouse workers qualify for FMLA. They intentionally have a system designed to use up people and spit them out in just under a year so they don't qualify.
There are entire industries of low-skill jobs that intentionally try to keep worker retention low to keep from having to comply with labor laws.
If she's been there less than a year or worked under a certain number of hours in the last year she doesn't even qualify for FMLA.
