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.

So the fact that the store would lose more money to the 10% discount is what incentivizes them to use cashiers.
All y'all tripping over making these 2 numbers equivalent are missing the point entirely.
I'm not missing the point, funny enough it seems to be you that has.
Something should be done, but this is NOT the way to do it. I'm sorry you can't understand that.
Of course not.
We shouldnt dare do it in a way that hurts the poor company.
Perhaps we should solve it by making customers pay a fee for using self checkout! You know, those poor, downtrodden businesses really do need all the help they can get.
