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.

They actually kinda legally DO have to follow fiduciary duty towards their shareholders. If their shareholders were also all the workers of the company, this then wouldn't be a conflict to pay them more, right? But that's actually literally socialism and that's why socialism is a boogeyman
Worker coops are not socialism though. It's technically capitalism, and it's not something you'd see Fox railing about.
They just don't arise much in the current system of stuff.
Worker co-ops are indeed socialism if all the shareholders are also workers, because it's the workers owning the company (means of production).
