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'm pretty sure it does work, actually. That's the problem.
Does it not? It still does in my experience. Our company has these weird company wide meetings where they tell us how they're doing great, everything's great, but because growth isn't "double digit" due to inflation so there is a pay freeze. (I'd love even a less than double digit pay rise - even though that's still a pay cut with inflation).
Pretty much exactly what you are saying. Employees are grumbling, but don't want to get laid off and are uncertain about the job market.
