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.

2016 felt like a pivotal moment and we got stuck with the worst outcome. Sometimes I wonder how much different everything would have turned out if Bernie had gotten the nomination and went on to become president.
Fucking Brexit. I think democracy was defeated by non-military means several times in that era. I don't think it "just happened".
I feel like 2024 was such a pivotal year. Economy going well inflation getting under control, interest rates falling. We were finally investing a little in our infrastructure, our future. Progress toward getting college costs under controlEV sales and renewable energy were gangbusters, record amounts of public land protected from drilling. The 2035 goal for many states to phase out new combustion vehicles looked achievable. Federal state and local incentives were helping more homeowners switch away from fossil fuels, to even free solar for low income. More locally we had passed a millionaires tax going toward transit improvements and free school lunch. Some amount of free public university….. it was a great time to be alive!
We had made so much progress that 2024 was the first time in my life I thought America was ready for a progressive
I was so very very wrong
