A Decentralized National Workers Union

We promote the creation of a Decentralized National Workers Union where members self manage their dues in a fund that they control themselves. We believe the best way to do this is by members taking a percentage of their own pay check each pay period and putting it into XRP.

The New Social Contract

Replace the minimum wage with a living wage.

The living wage will start at $20 per hour and goes up when the cost of living goes up. $12.25 per hour for tipped employees.

Equal pay for women.

Replace the 40 hour work week with a 30 hour work week (Four day work week).

Each 7 and a half hour shift gets a 30 minute paid lunchbreak.

Replace time and a half with double time for any overtime.

Every company must offer a two week paid vacation after each year of employment and also a week of paid maternity or paternity leave.

Ride share and other transportation workers must be paid at least a living wage.

The right to work at home if it can be proven that your job can be performed at home. (This would also open up a lot of office buildings which can be converted into housing.)

The Right To Affordable Housing

A constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to affordable housing. The county government a worker resides in has a duty to ensure affordable housing exists with the following criteria: Efficiency apartments of no less than 600 square feet shall not exceed more than one third of a workers pay. One or two bedroom apartments of no less than 800 square feet shall not exceed more than one half of a workers pay. Residents of any county in any state will have the right to sue the county they reside in for the difference in total cost they pay versus the total cost they should be paying if such housing is not available (plus attorney fees). The affordable housing cannot have additional costs attached to it that would make the total costs more than one third for efficiencies or one half for one or two bedroom apartments.
