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.

Profits by definition only go to the owners and investors. Once they're seized by the government they're no longer profits, they're company expenses.
Those are the only two options?
For corporations, yes. Profits are always the money left after expenses that are taken as surplus. I suppose there's also cooperatives, which redistribute the profits to the member-owners.
But profits are for the owners. That's how private property works?
