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.

Depends on what degree the "on site bakery" needs to resemble an actual one.
I can see mcds adding a glass window with some muffins and calling that a "bakery" just to skirt the law.
And don't forget any place that toasts your bread. Basically, all a place needs is a toaster oven and suddenly they are exempt.
"Sir, I ran the numbers. We can expand the restaurant to add ovens for the bakery to sell fresh bread. It'll cost us $2,000,000 for the expansion and we're projecting to lose half a million a year in operating costs. Or we can just pay our dozen employees an extra $2 an hour, making our employees happier, increasing retention rates, reducing training costs, and all in all just being the right thing to do "
"Good work, Johnson. I want those ovens up and running by Monday."
put an easy bake oven next to the microwave, make one batch a day.
Ding ding ding. Give this person a fresh pastry.
