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.

Are you describing local minimum wage jobs or panhandling. Because that sounds like an awful lot of treatment for both.
Swap out the car exhaust fumes for gas stove fumes and the baking sun for the heat of a kitchen and you pretty much have what it’s like to work in a restaurant! Right down to the fake money that’s actually church pamphlets!
I guess it’s probably not very common for people to yell “get a job” at a restaurant server, though they do yell lots of other things (and bring screaming children with them).
Got damm!!
