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.

Had a Civil Service job with a union. Everyone knew exactly what everyone else was making and nobody cared.
I'm sure the employers who couldn't scam their employees cared.
They are the ones that made sharing your wage a taboo.
It's such a weird taboo you guys got. In Norway tax returns are public. Nothing is stopping you from seeing how much your colleagues, neighbours or whatever made the previous year.
That may be the biggest piece of culture shock I can imagine. Not even the salary, the idea that any citizen could locate any politician or actor's address is mind boggling.
