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.

Is that in project 2025 ? I dont remember but they are on track for sure.
And he seriously said this, what the actual fuck. It seemed so absurd that i had to look up, and yeah its there...
fuck him
Didn't he just create like two new holidays?
Says the man that golf's more than work
You know those tropes in old cartoons where overworked factory workers are given a union-mandated 3-minute lunch break? That's the future of America.
Sounds like the WH chef staff ran out of chicken nuggies
From this list, it looks like the US and Vietnam are actually tied for the lowest, with 6 each.

I didn't even get to take off yesterday. Fuck this guy.
Yeah Americans have way too many holidays, like two hole weeks per year!
I mean, compare that to the Europeans with their lousy 5 weeks per year, they never take off!

Don’t worry, Don, the “essential workers” won’t be affected.
And here I thought I would get away without seeing trump bitch about juneteenth..
Working with people in other countries it really make me jealous they have a notional holiday, seeming every month where the business is closed. Really wish the US had more days like that
We have fewer holidays than medieval peasants. Economic historians vary between 150 and 250 work days vs 261 for a Mon-Fri job.
As far as I can tell the US has only slightly less than an average number of public holidays, but the amount of PTO is close to zero for a lot of people.
EU working time directive requires 28 paid days off per year (including public holidays) as a minimum.

keep up the talk fat man and we'll have a paid holiday for every finger and toe we cut off.
You guys are getting days off?
Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist “lazy people of color” trope, I see. And on Juneteenth, too. I’m sure that’s part of the subtext he was going for.
This is the first trump post where I saw the members of r/conservative unanimously against the president.
Too bad they'll still support him anyway..
