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.

MODERATORS
This time, though, we're not just talking about Carnegies and Rockefellers. In the 2020s the first estate has four times the wealth that it did during the gilded age.
It's not just enough to buy elections and control government, it's enough to buy all the elections internationally, and control all the governments.
And we're already seeing how in the rest of the industrialized world how far right movements are gaining traction in nations that have been weakened by decades of neoliberal policies (e.g. policies that favor private corporate interests and disfavor the public).
That is to say, watch carefully what happens here in the States, because wherever you are, they're trying the same thing, and have high tech and lots of money.
