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.

What you studied is not such of essence. That you studied, however, is. During a degree, your maturity grows involuntarily, which is what I want. I don’t care what knowledge you gained there, because anything is a bonus.
Learning is a skill.
Knowledge is free, but college is not. The older I get and the more people I meet, the more I see how little connection there is between basic degrees and intelligence.
Knowledge and maturity can be gained through various paths in life. Whether one sits in a classroom or not, someone dedicated to learn will learn while someone just looking to coast by will coast by. A lot of people have gone to college not due to a love of learning, but because it was expected of them. Sadly, it shows.
They just want employees shackled by student loan debts.
Hello US Defaultism
Do you want a cookie?
Nah I’m a EU fag. I don’t trust US products. Sorry mate. And please don’t choke on that cookie. You wouldn’t be able to afford the medical bill.
Student loan debt is an American thing, but the sentiment is common in companies around the world. So it's unlikely that's the case.
