Work Reform
11835 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.

Summary of what I understood:
Proposal:
That seems 19th century stuff. Back then, in the bad old times, anarchists shot politcians and workers had street battles with cops over this kind of minor issues.
You know those kids are pretty small as well, I'm sure they can work with chimeys a lot better than an adult.
*labor. Not lab our.
Ah, nice to remember. :) I'm used to speaking and writing UK English - I learnt it that way and it became a habit. (In the UK, they write colour intead of color, labour instead of labor, tyre instead of tire, grey instead of gray, etc.)
Yep, British English got these words from Norman French. In the 20th Century, Webster's reforms attempted to simplify American English and lost a bunch of these silent vowels.
"Not lab our" isn't a complete sentence. Please conform to all rigid forms of prescriptivist communication if you'd like to continue nitpicking stupid shit.
