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.

People have to eat. I work for an evil corporation, so I try not to be too good at my job, but just good enough to keep collecting a check
You could find ethical ways to make money. It's not hard or impossible. The vast majority of everyone else on the planet seems to have found a way.
Grow a conscious or some balls. Preferably both.
It is that easy if you try. If you didn't develop any skills you deserve your lot.
Truly spoken like you have no fucking idea what you're talking about at all.
About getting a fucking job? Lol. Everyone who works at an immoral company is 100% complicit with every action their company takes. If you don't like it, leave. If there's no other jobs you have to move. Welcome to how the world works.
Moving is so easy and inexpensive yep
You're either a bad troll or a rich kid who has no idea what being poor is like
Lie more.
I've been homeless and grew up with a can of beans feeding 3. You have to move to find the work. Expecting everything to fall in your lap with no effort is lazy and entitled. You're the type of person that stays poor.
I think one can easily argue capitalism is unethical, as it is based on extraction and exploitation, and has a non-democratic power structure. So that eliminates most jobs in the West as being ethical.
What a big brain take. Everyone bad. Thanks for the Reddit level insight.
