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.

I'm not sure you get the point I am making. You changed something, perhaps without noticing. The quote is about productivity, not inflation. Merely keeping pace with inflation when productivity is booming hardly seems enough.
If you think productivity should be factored in that's fine, but I'm not talking about productivity like the post is. I purposely left it out. I'm merely saying that wages should keep up with inflation at the very least.
