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.

This is true, yes. In many ways you could say Fetterman is worse in his betrayal to his constituency. But as far as anyone can argue, it took brain damage from a stroke to facilitate.
Oz being the victor would have been a direct blow to the organization network that got Fetterman in office, which was largely policy driven. (Fetterman ran on the 2020 DNC platform, which meant holding the DNC to their promises at the time.) Fetterman is loathed for his policy betrayal. There is no real cult of personality around him where he can Do No Wrong.
He is better mostly because him losing to Oz would have meant policy didn't matter. And it does, which is particularly relevant for assessing Platner.
When you run candidates where they personally matter, and not their policies, you wind up in worse situations.
