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.

Oh boy we're all shocked, shocked I tell you
It only worked every time it was tried. Nobody could have predicted this!
And it costs municipalities less money than the problems it prevents, so obviously we shouldn't do this everywhere and raise the standard of living for everybody. Because it wouldn't be fair, somehow.
Homeless folks and people in poverty vs morons rabbling, it's quite the conundrum
I had to pay off my own notably cheaper loans and work shitty jobs for my demonstrably stronger dollar at minimum wage! So the whole world should writhe in tears and agony until the end of time!
