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.

This is exactly what I've encountered. I only opened Indeed to see what ppl in my profession are being offered in other places. Places with affordable houses. I'm worried my living situation will become a problem in the area I live, it's only getting higher.
Like you, I find employers are completely unaware of this and aren't offering enough.
They are also asking for more qualifications than they are willing to pay for, so far I'll bide my time.
The other annoyance is I can't ask for any feedback on why my application was passed over.
