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.

One week? Do you get like 46 days of bank holiday?
No, it's usually somewhere between 5 and 12 and none of them are mandatory.
Edit: if I'm translating that right, anyway.
I don't know how many banking holidays there are but they typically are only observed by people working at banks... Personally speaking, I've never had a job that gave any holidays off, but I also never had a job that gave vacation time, even though some of them said they did on paper.
