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.

Depends on what degree the "on site bakery" needs to resemble an actual one.
I can see mcds adding a glass window with some muffins and calling that a "bakery" just to skirt the law.
Apple pies aren't bread per the FDA definition of "bread", see here:
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?CFRPart=136&showFR=1
These places would need to start producing full loaves to meet that definiton
Baking a loaf once a day isn't all that hard especially if you just bought a bread maker. This could easily be like the era before internet porn where porn stores would have some regular books in the window.
It's a state law. It's the definition there that matters.
Um... subway also bakes the bread lol. They get the dough in boxes and bake them daily.
The cookies though, idk about Subway but McDonalds gets them premade and throws them in the oven for a bit.
"Sir, I ran the numbers. We can expand the restaurant to add ovens for the bakery to sell fresh bread. It'll cost us $2,000,000 for the expansion and we're projecting to lose half a million a year in operating costs. Or we can just pay our dozen employees an extra $2 an hour, making our employees happier, increasing retention rates, reducing training costs, and all in all just being the right thing to do "
"Good work, Johnson. I want those ovens up and running by Monday."
put an easy bake oven next to the microwave, make one batch a day.
Ding ding ding. Give this person a fresh pastry.
