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.

The sad part of this story is that still if far from enough to be able to afford to live in most of CA.
Yes, I know round numbers sound great but remember when the "fight for 15" was a rallying cry? Not even enough to house and feed someone in many cities.
Next step for labor movement is to get away from hard target numbers; inflation and long implementation timelines erode the gains.
