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.

There was a time when United was employee owned. What happened?
Capitalism
The more precise issue imo is „work mandate“. We overproduce by a huge margin just to „give people work“ which they dont actually need.
If we stopped producing shit that is not necessary, just a tiny fraction of humanity would need to work for everyone to have food.
In so many instances employee owned does not mean what it says. It can be as little as each employee getting one nonvoting share.
Probably a bankruptcy.
