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.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Cool. I've read what Dr. King has written. You still asked me for suggestions and ignored them. And the fact that you think Dr. King applies here when we are talking about mostly people of color suffering is ironic as fuck.
Are you seriously calling out someone for having a moment of weakness because he was afraid for the safety of his family?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Please quote what I am dictating. I would like to see what I am dictating. Unless you're lying, of course. I'm betting on the latter, but feel free to prove me wrong.
I'd also love to know what you think regularly trying to accuse me of being a coward achieves.
You are an absolute BADASS for not letting this clown get to you.
🙏
Thank you.
Not one quote.
So you lied. Got it.
And if it is "apparent to everyone" that I am a coward, why keep pointing it out? Also, if that makes me a coward, why are you glad about it?
I may be simple, but you still lied. Although this sure looks like dictating to me, so I'm not sure why you have a problem with such behavior:
Insulting me will not change the fact that you lied and then did the very thing you lied about me doing.
Once again, it seems like you're the one who wishes to dictate things to people, so it's odd that you falsely accused me of doing it.
Nobody? Can I see your data or is this another lie?
So no data about this claim that nobody likes me? Guess it was also a lie.
Interesting that you've been hurling all of these insults and commanding me to do things and yet I'm the fragile one. Very interesting.
Very well, please quote me showing my fragility. I won't be holding my breath.
