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.

Always valid.
Let the businesses fail. We have a new generation of people who’d be happy to have their chance in a truly free market.
Or we could just admit capitalism isnt viable and do some kind of communism. Ideally an anti-hierarchal one.
I’m down for democratic socialism with ranked-choice voting, no EC, and worker co’op based business management. The economics of capitalism can stay, but only under proper management (i.e., the working class — who actually create the capital). Where’s your petition? I’ll sign.
Nearest billionaire or cop's skull. Its on the inside so it might be a little tricky to get to.
This expresses my thoughts exactly, but way more eloquently than I can.
Ah yes the petition, the working class's most powerful weapon, feared by oligarchs and petty despots alike!
