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
Everyday Americans are amongst the stupidest people I've ever met. Don't hold your breath.
While I won't argue against the ignorance of the 50th percentile, I'd encourage you to consider that for many it may not be willful.
By design, more and more people are forced to focus on their immediate needs. As more Americans than ever before live paycheck to paycheck with hardly a thousand dollars in savings, how can they justify spending time learning when they need to be at their second job so their kids don't go homeless?
If you write people off as stupid then the problem is intractable. You can't cure stupid. But you can inform the ignorant.
