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.

Well the living wage in the twin cities is roughly $23/hr while living alone with no kids, so it's still a ways off. However, I actually hope they leave. Then metro transit has good reason to greatly expand the lightrail lines
I hope they get something similar to the Driver's Cooperative, which is like Uber/Lyft but owned but the drivers themselves. Right now though my understanding is they're only in NYC/Denver.
Yep, I know the CWAer that helped form the coop in Denver! Driver co-ops will become very popular as people realize they're getting screwed by these companies
