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.

I work with a few Indian development teams, and "sweatshop" is an apt description. We work on software dependencies, as specified by them. After we deliver, they decide it's not what they wanted, change the specs and treat it as a "drop everything else" bug. It gives me no greater pleasure than telling them to relax, that we'll get to it in due time when we have the capacity. I like to think that a few of their managers already popped a vein.
