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.

From 3 to 5... I literally don't understand why a governor and state as progressive as it is doesn't go all in and give people a realistic number. Did COVID teach us nothing? Who is lucky enough these days to only be sick up to 5 days a year. And why do we have to earn it?? Give me a law that makes it so that everyone gets their PTO/sick days all at the beginning of the year and uses it as needed.
This really can't be the best they have right?
Give Newsom a break, he doesn't have the same juice as Midwestern Dems in Michigan and Minnesota
I think you're being sarcastic here, but I really can't tell haha.
I see Gavin Newsome talk on interviews and say exactly the kind of stuff we want to hear about how bullshit everything is and showing up on Sean Hannity's show (twice?) and calling him out on all the shit Fox News spews, and then to see "wins" as pathetic as this for worker's rights is so frustrating.
I am!
Yeah, it is frustrating to see Newsom has a lot of juice when it comes to lip service and appointing Union Busters to seats of power, but falls flat when it comes to actually being pro worker
