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.

Just to clarify I'm not saying the productivity argument to force everyone back is valid. I think I'm just lucky to be working with reasonable people who value the flexibility of a balance of WFH and RTO. Managers and other staff alike.
There is no flexibility when you have mandated WFH and RTO. Can you come and go on your own accord, going to an office only when you feel you would better accomplish your tasks there? That's flexibility. We work from home Monday Tuesday, and at the office Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday? That's not flexibility.
Ah I see. Basically yes we have proper flexibility. There's encouragement to go in more but no "stick" (yet). Some are fully remote and doing well for example.
Sounds pretty rad! Hope the sticks stay in the closet, where they belong.
