Work Reform
17103 readers

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.

When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, 'middle class' in the US was still defined as one job supporting a family of four. In those days, $1 million was considered a vast fortune.
By the time Bush the elder left office, 'middle class' was two jobs to support the family, and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
