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.

Fun fact: According to the Indian Constitution, India is a "socialist secular Republic". India had incredibly powerful unions till the 90s. After that, liberalisation happened (which led to significant economic progress). This however, destroyed all socialist institutions that were in place.
It has become so bad, that the wealth inequality is now more than it was under the fucking British Raj.
Are you suggesting we send the Brits back in? They fantasize about the old empire a lot lately...
Except the guy leading the fantasy party is Indian
So thats really weird.
To be fair, BoJo Muppet hair dreamt of it before. And many others as well.
