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.

MODERATORS
For people who DON'T need to be in office, forced RTO is stupid because it wastes commute time.
For people who DO need to be in office, forced RTO for others is stupid because it creates more peak hour traffic and lunch rushes, making their own commute/lunch suck more.
For urban planning, forced RTO is stupid because again it increases road usage and creates unnecessary clumps of high-density areas, causing inconsistent use of urban infrastructure.
For landlords, forced RTO makes sense because it props up inflated real estate prices.
