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.

Swing and a miss
The issue isn't paying for it. It's paying for it and not getting anything in return.
Daycare costs the same as a full time job, and there are a dozen kids there, yet the workers there earn minimal wages.
Healthcare is the same, pay thousands yearly for insurance just to pay thousands more of you ever need to go to the hospital or anything outside a routine preventative checkup
I never said we get what we think we're refusing to pay for, just that Americans think they can get something for nothing.
