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.

This won't happen because no one is measuring productivity. If they had any way to measure productivity or even cared about it, there wouldn't be bullshit jobs. CEOs will never admit this, because it was never the point.
If there weren't bullshit jobs, capitalism would collapse. There wouldn't be enough jobs to feed the workers, so they'd revolt and overthrow the system. People don't revolt and overthrow the system very often, but when two thirds of the population is starving, they do.
These are not mutually exclusive.
