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.

Tbf cost of living in such areas, assuming not remote, can be igher too and that consumes a chunk of the higher salary.
I had a $100K+ salary when I lived in northern Louisiana. I and two other people rented a house for $400 a month (total rent). I still somehow managed to not save any money. I even had the opportunity to buy the house we were renting for $15K and I passed.
