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.

That first book seems like conservative whining about being "shouted down" on college campuses. I think this guy is too young to have experienced the 60s, because college campuses were a lot rowdier then.
His ideas don't look plausible to me at all. It sounds like he just wants attention.
I'm just saying that the university experience of my grandparents' generation in the 50s included trying to fight off the Soviet 8th Mechanized Army and becoming NYT Man of the Year.
That said, education becoming shittier definitely is a phenomenon across cultures.
