Work Reform
10651 readers

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.

In a world where the average household has <$500 worth of savings, you'd have problems implementing a general strike for 2 days, never mind 2 weeks. Good luck ya'll, I think the time for action was a while ago and I don't see this being feasible right now.
You can try to prove me wrong, but explain how these households are going to make it two weeks.
