Hopefully this kick starts a new normal to a 32 hour work day and traditional pensions.

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.

Woo! Another strike! It's great to see labor realizing it's power again after 100 years of it being weak and unions toothless.
Hell yeah. Solidarity forever.
Also, why was Stellantis allowed to be a thing? Can we stop with the fucking monopolistic corporate consolidation for one fucking second (and yes, I know the answer would be “no, because that would be less profitable“)?
Chrysler: "No, one day people will be forced to like something other than our minivans."
Someone I know works in a southern, non-union auto plant. He gets most of the benefits of being in a union industry but refuses to acknowledge it. Can't wait for the bitching about this to commence.
I stand in solidarity and am curious about the efficacy of this “Stand-Up” approach to striking. It sounds brilliant and could change the way unions around the world operate.
