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.

Same here in UK. Party stopped mid 00's. Nordic countries seem pretty good at wealth distribution though. How Norway protected its oil wealth should be studied in schools.
We're all following the same pattern, the wealth distribution got completely fucked during covid and it hasn't slowed down ever since. We're just 5-10 years after you, but I'm scared of the direction especially the UK have made and no proper parties seems to be willing to dismantle the elites yet.
Capitalism will always make wealth trickle upwards, unless you either tax wealth harder than yields or taxes death to oblivion. Personally I'm in favour of 100% inheritance tax after the first 400 thousand euroes, as that's the most feasible way to transition into a liberal merit based society rather than a nepotistic society based upon how wealthy your parents are which is dominating everywhere today - Including my beloved Denmark.
