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.

Make sure you send thoughts and prayers too.
That was unnecessarily mean. Are you mad at him because he has stock in the company?
You know what, you're likely right. But also I've been broke sense forever and never had a chance to think about a 401k, which historically has benefits the 1% significantly more than any contributing person. I guess my point is, don't appear to sympathize if you're not directly experiencing it or taking action.
Okay I get this. The dude with stock could sell the stock, which would be a useful protest, or financially support the worker's rights movement.
Thats pretty much what I was getting at, but I came at it like a cynical douche.
