Why should a full-time employer be permitted to pay an employee less than it costs to merely survive? It’s like you WANT to live in a culture where humans are exploited and thrown away when they break.

Edit: NVM, I see from the rest of the thread that you are not participating in good faith, and your responses will be blocked from reaching me.

You sounds like you’ve never held a job before and these terms are brand new to you. You’re using them wrong.

I’m hourly and make a good living wage, are you implying that hourly means you don’t work full time or should be entitled to a livable wage?

If you work 40 hours a week and paid hourly that is full time. You don’t have to be salary to be full time employee.

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.
