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.

That's the point.
I know. However, with AI, management will just take the 10% that choose not to join and give them the additional 90% of work, then hire offshore people to cover the rest. Their profits wont increase but theyll still make out like bandits because labor is cheaper.
H1B Visa workforce is the wave of the future. The Sociopathic Oligarchs are angling to create "Freedom Zones" where they will build their new facilities, complete with living facilities for their foreign workers. They will operate independent of government regulations of any kind. Skum is already working on it.
It's literally how they use foreign workers in Arab countries. They usually use Indians or Filipinos, barely pay them, and strictly limit their personal agency. It's literally slavery.
It's coming to America. We can always pick fruit.
Christ. Yeah Ive seen the chinese shacks next to a 40 story luxury building. They barely treat them as animals let alone human.
I've seen it when passing thru Dubai.
Very hard to be team human when you see what we do to our own.
Yeah world has just gotten shittier for the bottom. No one truely cares about ending suffering as long as the rich doesnt have to endure it
