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.

I don't suppose there is a labor union resource database available for folks wanting to start or find a union
The IWW offers resources for people interested in forming their own independent union.
IWW organizer training is really good. I took OT101 in Seattle and part of that included actually roleplaying a group of employees walking into a manager's office and presenting demands. Pretty cool, very informative, totally worthwhile even if I have never really had a chance to exercise what I learned
