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.

If, like me, you're concerned that franchisees may not be able to raise prices and offset this $250k in yearly expenses, worry no more because they totally can.
This whole complaint is nonsense. That's a trivial markup per food item.
Besides, less fast food restaurants would be a good thing anyway.
I'm still waiting for taco trucks on every corner. Fuck that would be awesome
Been seeing them pop up more often for the past couple years. Granted I live in Cali.
I want them driving through my neighborhood like the fucking ice cream trucks.
That's my first thought. Oh maybe higher wages reduces mega chain economies of scale and makes local small businesses more viable.
