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.

Imagine firing all competent employees
The stoner dudes high as balls 247 who don't give a shit and are not stressed a bit: :DDD
Bro where do you work where this is not caught in the first interview
Often if you can make it past the first interview you don't get caught unless a workers comp claim gets filed. The place I work we had people * in training* come in smelling like weed, a few others smelling like booze, and one came in very obviously high on coke. From what I remember the only one who got fired was for cursing someone out. Even past that, we've had a couple of members of leaderships who were alcoholics who regularly drank on the job, and there was always at least one person smoking in the parking lot.
All depends on employee tolerance and employer need, really.
And which field was this? What kind of workplace?
I'm not really saying this can't happen. Just that I couldn't think of a place myself where this would be tolerated. Not where I live, at least. ๐
