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.

How much was electricity when you were working at home? Air conditioning? Are you buying more alcohol? If you are complaining that you are buying lunch more thats your problem.. you can pack a cooler and bring that shit to work.
Commuting costs. "Work clothes". Childcare. Its not just daily expenses, but expenses spread out over time.
It's all personal. But for me I only run the air conditioner for 3 months and normally not every day. I also run the heat for four. But all that plus electricity costs less than gas, tolls , car payment and car maintenance.
Yeah, I think its all relative and depends on where you live. If you live in the south you can probably expect to pay for AC all day, probably 6-8 months of the year. As for car related, this is also all relative. If you have a car and it isnt used much for 15 months then I would expect the car to not start when you try.
