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.

Yeah. I've heard so many horror stories from the VFX contractors now. Sound like a hellacious job to work currently
A lot of creative jobs are like this. Game development is incredibly predatory. Noodle has a fantastic video.
not just creatives. if you love what you do you need to be in a union: see pilots.
I always upvote Noodle. This specific video led me to leave my workplace abuse as a dev, and just about just about everyone else I worked with left as well once they saw people leaving. We're all much happier for it. I wish we had a union, because I loved those people and wanted to work with them forever, but we all had to move on.
Agreed. I think he got kinda uppity about people putting animations through AI that increased the frame rate, but other than that he’s chill, and one of the less cringe tubers.
