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.

After the UAW strikes they fought for and negotiated a 25% wage increase over four and a half years, reinstated cost-of-living adjustments, and the elimination of the two-tier wage system. Additionally, the contracts improved retirement benefits and provided stronger protections against plant closures, marking significant gains for the workers involved.

They also coordinated contract expirations for May 1st 2028, and the more labor unions who coordinated those dates the more collective bargaining can effect even with anti labor laws like Taft-Hartley.
