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.

Huh, according to Indeed, the range for Domino's delivery drivers around me is $18-$25 an hour. How far over minimum wage is your $12?
I can't speak for domino's, but when I worked at pizza hut as a driver they advertised a similar pay. The reality is I got $4 and change an hour on the road and my states minimum wage in store plus tips. The listed pay range was what they guess you'll make with tips.
Saw similiar shit here. "Delivery person needed!". And whne it comes to pay, it's sudden;y "up to xx/h". God forbit they pay you normally.
At least dominoes is still hiring their own drivers! Papa John's uses DoorDash, aka when the driver steals your food everyone points fingers at the other and the customer always loses.
It's NC, so it's bottom of the barrel what is legally required minimum wage. 7.25
They are likely including tips in that range.
I realize that, and mainly considered the bottom of the range as a result; $18 is still a far cry from $12, after all.
But on slow days, they are still only getting minimum wage ($7.25)... tips are part of the culture, but not guaranteed and can't be counted on for budgeting living expenses.
Drivers heavily rely on tips. That is the estimated price range with tips. The base pay for Domino's drivers in my area is $10/hr.
