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.

Their business can't just absorb this cost. That's not how businesses work. What they can do is raise prices a few cents each and pay the cost.
Franchisees are empowered to set their own pricing, so this is a non-issue.
Yeah heaven forbid the owner take home a little less profit.
I can almost guarantee a lot of locations wouldn't even need to do that. The owner would just have to not take a bonus. God forbid that though.
Per the article it's a $250k cost of labor increase on average
