New law:

If you got pregnant with an employer’s promise of maternity leave they should be on the hook for all 9 months.

They can either keep you on and get work out of you or they can fire you 2 months in but they’re paying you all 9 months + 3 month maternity leave post partum.

Here in France it is punishable by law to fire someone during a maternity leave. This should be the norm, and then some.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
