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.

The thing is, we aren't dying or getting maimed on a regular basis. We should fight harder, but the average person doesn't have anywhere near the same interest in improving working conditions as people in the start of the twentieth century.
I say this as someone who suggested unionizing at my previous company and there was zero interest. The place where I currently work is unionized, thank goodness.
