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.

“the equivalent of a full work week — that resulted in $733 worth of time lost.”
Did it result in time lost or do people still do their full hours and effectively extend their workday to accomodate these long commute times. If the latter then what is actually lost is personal time (family time, exercise time, time to cook healthy meals, rest, etc).
It's definitely the second one.
