My point is that the ad had reach. People paid attention, casual littering dropped through the floor. I was there, I watched it happen.

We should find a clever way to get this issue of wage theft in front of people.

My point is that ad had reach because our corporate overlords wanted it to. It wasn’t some organic grassroots movement, it was part of a billionaire agenda. Wage theft is something they don’t want to have reach and behold, it doesn’t.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
