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.

MODERATORS
Just looked at the chart of labor productivity per country, of the top 20, only found 1 non-western: Singapore ranked 19^th. Maybe western way is the better way
It's not.
You think bosses demanding unpaid overtime is good?
No, the opposite, hence why the Western way is worse, despite it's higher productivity.
Wage theft, which includes unpaid overtime, is a larger category of theft in the US than all other categories combined.
Guess you missed this was an Indian boss demanding unpaid overtime.
