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.

Some day we'll find our Mahsa Amini, the last straw. It may be an industrial accident in which workers were locked in place. It may be a dead girl. It may be a law that denies too many people healthcare. It may be a day of mass famine.
It'll be the day that enough people have had enough to riot at a scale that overwhelms all responders.
The more we try other things, the more our peaceful protests and unionization efforts and mutual aid efforts get assaulted and brutalized by law enforcement, the closer we get to realizing that nothing short of razing the plutocrats is going to stop them.
They will kill us all before they give up their power and cruelty. The question is how many of us have to fall victim to the system before we act.
