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 not remotely surprised, and I didn't support him pushing to stop the strike either.
That doesn't mean I think its OK to leave out what he did do to exagerrate a position.
Do you know why they were striking? Low staffing levels leading to long hours, overworked staff, and building safety concerns as a result.
What part of my comment makes it appear as if I wasn't aware?
He still broke the strike subverting the will of the workers. That is a slap in the face and undercuts the pto day they get a year.
He did.
As well as get a pay raise, a guarantee of additional raises, PTO, additional sick days, and convertible days.
Pretending nothing was done undercuts the issue, and spreads misinformation about what actually happened.
