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.

I don't have minimum wage though.
A good way to avoid being exploited is to have some skills worth paying for...
That being said, I would double minimum wage if I was in charge, because I value human happiness more than profits.
Fuck extreme capitalism. Needs to be a balance between that and human happiness.
Everyone who works has skills worth paying for. That and having sought after skills doesn't mean you won't be exploited.
