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.

One is literally necessary for survival while the other isn't. This is the difference between a 'need' and a 'want.'
Considering how many people are able to live a significantly lower quality of life than what you're advocating for, no. It's not a 'need.' It's a 'want.' There's no limit to 'increased well being.' There is a limit to what the human body can take before it can no longer go on living.
Might want to brush up on your vocabulary. This is a pretty simple concept that even 2nd graders have no problem understanding.
Yeah, second graders get longer vacations than I do, interesting ain't it. Maybe you need one cuz your brain seems to be working overtime to justify people suffering.
I'm not justifying anyone suffering.
I'm educating adults on the difference between needs and wants because they have the vocabulary of a pre-schooler.
Apparently the reading comprehension, too. Lol.
Keep insulting people that are suffering, really must do you a lot of favors when you're talking to someone in person.
Man, you just don't quit do you.
Gonna block you now. You clearly need more life experience to be taken seriously. Lol.
I need a vacation, you might say? Or do you need me to work hard enough by your standards to earn it? You haven't even seen my resume. Sorry you can't handle criticism.
