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.

Buddy is simping for corporations your hobby?
This is you saying there's a "shortage" of people willing to work for unlivable wages and then explaining that's what makes "prison labor" AKA slave labor incredibly popular.
We get it bud. Corporations love human slaves. This comes as a surprise to nobody. You talking about it like this is a problem with workers instead of the horrifying reality of corporate greed is just gross.
There is no shortage of people willing to do any kind of work for good wages. What we have way too much of are greedy billionaires and corporations.
The work has value that far exceeds the wages being paid
Yes. And that's a problem.
