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
I suspect the ones who are, were already programmers.
I've had some success taking our main windows app and converting it to a server with a Flutter front end.
Mostly stuff that I already knew how to do but couldn't be arsed because it's a lot of work to keep it all in sync. Break it down into actual tasks and Santa Claude stands half a chance. I've never written a line of Dart.
I'm also absolutely certain there's a limit to how far this approach will get me. The old the first half of the work takes 90% of the time. The second half also takes 90% of the time.
