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.

Seriously? It happened to someone I used to work with (last November). Except they laid her off while she was on maternity leave.
Your former coworker should sue, too.
My wife was at home for 3 months before the birth of our child and 2 years afterward. I always considered that not enough.
I can't imagine living in a country where you could be laid off before or even worse during your maternity leave.
honestly it is also hard for me to imagine living in the country i live in
