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.

sigh. I literally know people who will take this to heart, who already mostly believe this is how companies should operate, and don't need much more " proof" like this.
Yes: if you beat your slaves, they will work harder until they die, at which point you can replace them. It's true. You can be successful this way.
It bugs me to no end that we've created an economic model that measures success by exactly one metric: profit. It's such a shitty situation with a disastrous, unsustainable end; it's just taking a long time for it to play out.
