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.

The union contract covers the business license generally, so long as that exists the It's a union shop. They would have to shutdown or mutually enter union termination which happens but it's incredibly rare. They get renegotiated but generally no one is going to accept less and the company can't go around the contract to cut pay, they can however provide incentive not to join.
Legit, not answering your questions isn't trolling, asking questions you should find out on your own is trolling. Making dumb comments about shit you clearly don't understand is trolling. Go back to .ml or bother to research the subject you're all worked up over.
This is fundamentally not how anything works. The contract is determined by the relative power between the company and the union. If the union refuses to accept the company's offer, then their only recourse is stuff like going on strike - and if they don't have enough members for that to be a credible threat (because they've all been bought off) then yes, they will accept lower pay because they will have no other option.
This is the first thing resembling a real answer you've given me (despite being completely wrong) after like 20 comments of pure evasion and trolling.
So yup just not arguing in good faith, go back to .ml with your trolly bullshit baby boo.
