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.

yeah especially the food-at-schools issue is just so obvious. just provide free breakfast / lunch etc. doesn't even have to be complicated, even if the schools just provided a liter of milk a day, it would be something and better than nothing.
there's a whole lot of things that schools could provide even if they don't have a cafeteria / kitchen in the building. stuff like lunch boxes: bread with vegetables, cheese, jam, etc.
I can at least understand where people come from when they claim that adults who can work don't have a right to food. I don't necessarily have to agree with it, but I understand it.
But why doom their kids? An 8 year old shouldn't have their studies affected because they're hungry because their parents are poor. That's antithetical to the American Dream they tend to talk so much about.
