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.

This is great for teachers. Overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated!
You’re not wrong, but that only applies to teachers in low cost of living areas. High cost of living teachers start at $55k these days.
I also wonder how it would work. My wife clocks in when she gets to school and clocks out when she leaves, but she still lesson plans and grades papers at home.
she isn't salaried?
Not a teacher, but I'm salaried and have to log every hour each day. Ours is for contract and project costing purposes though
They meant that the salary cutoff is too low for some teachers to benefit.
