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.

No, the app gives the driver a price for the ride. Driver has 20 (or 30?) seconds to accept or decline. So Uber sits in the middle, controls pricing in both directions
Uber and Lyft both like to send the offer when you are busy making a turn or otherwise busy driving, so the driver has less time and attention to figure out if it is a bad deal.
Very dangerous.
Yes! I just posted the same. It's so true. I hope that company burns. I'm fighting to get out right now, but they know how to trap you.
It's actually 10 seconds. And they seem to like to make them pop up when you're taking turns with a rider already in the car. I think they think you'll accept their shittiest offers just to stop the distracting pop-up from blocking your entire map. They're insanely evil.
