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.

Is this what is actually happening? Or is that just how you'd want for it to be done?
What else could possibly be happening?
You guys are talking about these like they're subsidies. If I were to read just the comments I would be left with the impression that the government is paying to build the data center using tax payers money while letting the corporation keep all the resulting profits tax free.
Well... If I go off of my experience with local politics I would say it was a lobbiest bribing for this kickback
