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 can only speak for the UK but in the 60's and 70's here, you could be a welder, marry a nurse and buy an average three bedroom detached house with a nice garden. I'm not saying that it would have been a cake walk, but it was absolutely possible if you put your mind to it.
Now those combined wages will struggle to pay the rent on the shittest property in town whilst your landlord struts about telling you how entitled you are.
