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.

Yeah my brother is a plumber, he says jt has its upsides and down sides. I'm a diesel mechanic neither of us are ever scratching for work.
The real downside though is I'm in my 30s and my body is falling apart due to being big and dumb in my late teens early 20s moving heavy shit by hand.
The physicality of the job does take its toll on the body especially joints like knees and elbows.
