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.

I think I read that this is mainly for the VFX people who need to be on-set (since they need to make sure that what is being shot will then be usable for compositing and adding VFX, etc. Those are the people who can't be offshored. Can they be contractors? Maybe, but maybe the other unions for the other people on the set might refuse to work with non-union contractors.
So I'm not sure how this will affect the VFX contractors who do the VFX work that comes after principal photography.
