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.

all you guys ever do is connect dots. do something with the information, please.
What are you doing
watching from the other side of the world, writing to my mep's, talking about inequality with people irl, asking local politicians to explain themselves at open houses, tearing down right-wing stickers and posters... the usual
Cool, so the same things as we're doing over here, cool. If you have any other advice, please, do share.
Talk to people about these issues whenever socially possible.
So many people have the same problems, but they don't know it because they tend to clam up and keep their heads low. Americans need to shake off that level of cowardice, and someone needs to be the conversation starter.
Talk to your neighbors. Talk to the local clergy. Shit, talk to a cop, if you're feeling brave!
America needs to share more between themselves. Right now there's this rampant, buzzing noise coming from emotionally illiterate politicians committing atrocities, on both sides. You guys need to get your voice back. For that you need more community support; and the first step is to start. talking.
Anything truly effective couldn't be shared in this forum. I'm sure you could find some things by researching the history of revolutions, guerrilla warfare, black hat activities, looking into supply chains and what happens if they get disrupted, etc.
it's the thing i'm doing because the situation calls for it. you are further along. i don't have any advice to give because i genuinely don't understand how you got where you are.
The unfortunate reality is that other countries are copying the US. Right wing fascism is on the rise.
whaaaaaaaaaat
