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.

So weird that a union is such a weird taboo and looked down upon by employers in the US.
No it's not. Greed rules and corporate greed is king.
You don't get it. I mean it is very weird from an outside perspective that this is normalized.
I’d say we have a general problem in the US with certain people and legal entities constantly acting in bad faith but still having their words taken seriously.
I’m sure it’s a human issue across the globe, but we seem to be especially bad about it when it comes to rich people and corporations.
