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.

I'm extremely lucky. I'm a condominium superintendent, and my current job I am on call, but only for emergencies. There's a security team that will handle most things but call me if it's actually an emergency, residents don't actually call me directly after hours.
I get maybe one real emergency call every other month or less and they rarely take very long to deal with.
And my compensation is that I get a free 2 bedroom condo, in which I don't pay rent, utilities, or even my tv or internet bill. And I'm part of a union.
What would be a real condo emergency? Like a pipe burst? Doesn't sound like something the super could handle without a plumber coming.
Yeah usually floods from a pipe or such. Generally I can at least isolate the area and shut off water to the Apartment causing the flood until the plumbers can come and repair things. Or like I may get a call that the garage gate is stuck and I gotta call an emergency repair or something
