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.

If you can afford it, it will be exactly that expensive.
When government of my country passed a bill that gives monthly payouts of X per child to parents who both work and have at least one child, all daycare centers in the country raised their prices by X next month citing inflation.
Supply and demand do not set the price, when people have no choice but to buy anyway.
Funny thing: countries where govt cap what can be billed and a min bar on the quality of service and salaries (tied to inflation) fare better than countries where a sum of money is paid out or a sliding scale based on family income is used
It's still super scummy for them to raise the prices after a bill passed to help struggling families went into effect
Profit makes right, no?
