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.

Fill them up with homeless people and solve the housing crisis.
Sounds like a good idea on the surface, but I’ve read elsewhere that office space isn’t really suited to living space, and converting it is cost prohibitive in many cases because the buildings were never intended for residential use. Still, in a crisis there are always creative solutions to address some hurdles. Problem is that takes political will. Something that’s hard to find, at least in the US.
