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.

Except they were generating zero revenue during the time they were closed. That is pretty close to a fine.
I do also think they should be fined for preventing a union from forming, but having them pay back wages would be more of a fine than most places would be fined because there are basically no penalties for this kind of behavior.
They also are forced to recognize and negotiate with the union under the new NLRB rules, so that's a win too.
