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
In a fully functioning government, most people should be "profitting from" or "exploiting" the system while the top 10% pay the majority of that. The top producers, by definition, should be simultaneously the most rewarded and the most exploited in society while the bottom 50% are almost entirely "freeloading"
Its simply unsustainable any other way. A high performer born to a bottom 50% family will never make it to top 10% if the system does not function in this way, so we lose out on those "gifted" individuals to starvation or other archaic diseases
