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.

And how long ago was that? And have you heard back since?
That was earlier today so I haven't heard anything yet.
I also read an article recently that companies are posting "ghost jobs" where they don't plan to hire anyone at all.
Yes, the "ghost jobs" are for two reasons:
Yeah I've experienced the first one. I accepted a position somewhere else long before, but by the time one of the companies had gotten back to me, it had been 7 months since I applied.
Also the whole, "post a job with impossible requirements, back fill with cheap imported workers/my mate when the position is inevitably unfilled".
Good luck to you my friend
Thank you!
