This is such a no-brainer that I'm surprised the climate crowd are not advocating more aggressively for it.
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.
Something like 70% of greenhouse gasses are produced by 100 companies globally. This is like using a cup to empty an Olympic sized pool: yes, it does something, but not enough.
We need to maintain focus on the big producers and affect change there first and foremost.
What are those companies doing? They are selling stuff to people.
I think work from home and also the adoption of the 4 day work week will be critical to tackling the climate crisis
Four day work will cut the emission even more. Just saying.
Isn't that also what they're saying?
Yes!
It's also the 20% payrise we all absofuckinglutely need.
But at what cost? Employees are less productive without the watchful eye of a skilled manager.
Another MrBusinessMan banger 😄
Employees don't work from home!!1!11!1!1!!
But think of the commercial property prices!
individual civilian emissions are so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things that it makes me laugh when people talk about shit like this. A vast, vast majority comes from industries, not individuals driving a car to work.
They are, but when large masses of people are allowed to significantly reduce their emissions and with no downsides (other than middle managers' feelings, which no one but them consider a downside), then it's worth it.
Tell that to my desk chair hahaa pass the crudité.
Fuck, just let us live our lives.
