We're told to "Work Harder" by the rich who hardly work at all.

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.

I think the problem is that when we work harder, we barely afford our bills. For those born rich, any amount of work results in an increase in their net worth.
Hard work is rewarded with more work. Productivity has gone up, and up, and up, and we're seeing none of the benefits. Hell, we're mostly seeing drawbacks; the world is burning, and people are working themselves to death trying to keep up.
It's high time for productivity to cease.
