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.

Those people are the best argument for increasing wages and conditions across the board.
Say whatever about big tech, it's undeniable that they have been immensely successful - financially, in innovation and cultural significance. We can then go, "see if you treat your employees well and pay them well they give a shit about your company and perform well". That's how we leverage the good conditions of one group to fight for all groups. Divided, we fall.
There isn't enough energy on the planet for everybody to make that much per hour.
