Shit like this should be illegal and should allow company to be seized.

It is illegal, but the US is completely toothless with enforcement on anyone with any amount of wealth.

Thankfully, Biden recently gave the IRS some teeth to go after millionaires who rely on tax dodging. So there’s hope as long as a criminal isn’t put in charge to de-teeth the government again.

And hopefully the pendulum doesn’t swing too far next year for all that effort to be rolled back

The penalties are also so minimal that it’s cheaper to re-offend

Makes me wonder if we might have battles with them again. States that are anti union also have stand your ground laws.

Just goes to show you that unions work, otherwise they would not be so scared of it.

You might not interpret the motive as based on fear, if you think your employer loves you wants to make you happy and feel protected.

Umm, that wouldn’t change the truth? I guess I’m confused about what your argument is…

If everyone already knew the truth, then most arguments would be without value.

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.
