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.

Are you actually interested in the answer to that or just running in here to argue? I figure it'll save me effort if you tell me before I answer.
Umm...good question. I think I came in here expecting to see some braindead takes and prepared to argue against them, but tell you what, I promise I'll be respectful and attentive in this thread. You sound like you might actually have a good answer to my question.
Here's another time saver. These guys will explain instead of me:

I generally don't watch videos. I can read an article in a few seconds, I really don't like having that stretched out to 10 minutes or more while youtubers try to hawk ads and endorsements. Thank you for the response though.
I've only watched the first of these, but having done so, I'm not sure I want to bother with the second. The guy in the first video repeated the (likely true) claim that WFH impacts commercial real estate value and then dunked on a couple of articles about return to work policies. But the question was, why does that sway Amazon's thinking?
