From the article:

“The Amazon warehouse where she works originally denied her request for a leave of absence, but the company said in a statement Friday that they’ve since spoken with her and given her time off with pay.

“We wish her a full recovery and look forward to welcoming her back to work once she’s able,” said Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel.

Yep, all you need to get reasonable time off is for your specific plight to make national news…

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.
