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.

Fuck walmart.
Stop shopping there if you can, people.
I never really shopped there. Its cheap and dirty. I always felt like I needed a shower afterwards.
Agreed. Walmart makes my soul feel dirty too.
I stopped shopping there about 10 years ago. My wife occasionally argues that we should go there and I have to launch into my tirade again about what an evil company they are. That's not even considering how everything they sell is absolute shit. Not a single thing in the store is what it masquerades as on the slightly altered label.
Been fighting this fight for a while. It's like everyone I've ever said something to in real life doesn't understand. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Lol
Some people don't have a choice. When we were really poor, we shopped there even though I hated it, because we literally couldn't afford to shop anywhere else. But as soon as I started making better money I completely boycotted them. Other people are just really apathetic to anything that doesn't directly impact them in the immediate present. And then of course there are plenty of less than intelligent people who just don't get it, like you said.
I try to be understanding for those people, and I was also one of those people at one point. I also didn't know any better when I was younger.
