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.

Let me make sure I understand this. You're the chief executive of the world's largest bank. You have vast resources and an army of other executives at your disposal. What exactly is so urgent that you have to work 7 days a week and why is that anyone else's problem?
Wall Street treats Jamie Dimon like he's some sort of guru but it sounds to me like he's an fucking idiot whiney baby who doesn't manage his time wisely or recognize that he got to where he is on the backs of his employees.
Yeah, a lot of this RTO business is some misguided perception that the wealthy work the hardest, and are thusly disproportionately compensated. They don't realize how hard everyone around them needs to work to keep things moving and give them their lifestyle.
The workplace can feel like a prison for most workers trying to do their job, even if it's what they like to do. For these CEOs and people at the top, it's a space they built for themselves, of course they want to go to the office.
They will fight all challenges because of this. (Remote work, higher minimum wages, universal basic income)
