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.

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.
Hourly can be fulltime.
No, you're a fucking idiot.
Fulltime employment is not consistently defined across the board. Both of you may be right depending on which country or state you live in. Generally, in the US, full time employment is considered 40hrs of work per week, and has nothing to do with hourly or salary pay.
You are wrong and have always been wrong. It is based on worked (scheduled hours) in a week. Above a threshold, and it is considered full-time.
You sounds like you've never held a job before and these terms are brand new to you. You're using them wrong.
You still don't realize how ignorant you come across
I get paid by the hour, 50 years old. And the same job for 20 years. Full time.
50 hrs ago week isn't full time? Get fuckt
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.
