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.

...might let it cool first, then freeze it!
Freezing something is cooling something.
It is, but putting a hot thing next to other cold things also warms them, and can allow bacterial growth to start if it's a large enough heat source. Letting it cool some first avoids that.
Yes, if it's too hot, it could warm up your fridge or freezer and cause other food to spoil. It's still best for food safety to be cooling and freezing as fast as possible. Restaurants would use an ice bath to quickly bring the temperature down before putting it into the freezer.
Definitely need to cool it. Even if not freezing. When I worked in restaurants we had a cooling shelf in the walk-in that we had to stir the 40lb batch of ground beef now and then
