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 thought they already had that during working hours. I swear sometimes while I'm working on the east coast hours, my west coast colleagues signs on at 12PM EST and signs off of 530EST and aren't around to answer my 6:30 EST pings. Meanwhile I'm waking early for EU client calls, and handling 9PM meetings with Asia offices. So it goes. I don't think we can have it both ways where you can be remote working from anywhere yet not be on the hook to work hours during the defined operational times. I'm not working 9 to 9EST, and take long breaks mid day if I have evening meetings, but there are operational realities of needing to talk to people to get work done and those times need to be defined.
