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.

Has this been reported? If this Is in Canada there are worker protection services....

yes it has been and these places still exist today. They especially love taking advantage of their own.
That really sucks 🙁
Once the international students go home (hopefully) here in Canada this will not happen anymore, because Canadian's wouldn't stand for it
Any chance you could be anymore racist with your demands? "I blame the Indians" (while working in Canada). "Once the International people leave it will be fixed!" (still, working in Canada).
How about highlighting a specific company who's founded from India and treating employees bad in your neighboring Canadian community that has impacted you? Maybe some news articles or reports of the mishandling and abuse? Or we can just vaguely and anecdotally continue blaming "THEM" and anyone who's International?!
Remember, Anti-work doesn't mean Anti-immigrant.
how is that racist? I don't hate Indians. I said international students.
Hating companies you perceive from a certain ethnic community is also racist. Are all "Indian" companies like this or are you making blanket statements against a race? Are all the companies exploiting workers founded from India, or again, are we singling out an ethnic group as antagonists while ignoring the governing body? Can someone be born in India, become a Canadian citizen, operate a company under Canadian law and on their soil, and it's still the "Indians" fault?
You're right about the international student part, that would be Xenophobia added onto racism.
well thank you for the meridian-webster definitions.
