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.

The right wing base does not demand purity tests. Take that as you will.
And they have a pedophile leading them, so I don’t think I’ll be taking cues from them, actually
What convinced you of this? I've seen this claim before, but I've never seen it backed up by anything.
For example, does the right-wing base support pro-choice candidates? How about pro-LGBTQ candidates? What concessions has the base made to the Republican Party?
The main purity test right now in the Republican party is simply whether an elected leader is willing to be completely subservient to Trump.
Naw, it's about Israel.
Sound familiar?
You never heard of a RINO? This is exactly how conservatives have managed to pull the party so far to the right.
If we abandon our principles we're no better than they are. That being said, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
There are some things which should be non-negotiable. One of them should be free and universal health care. That seems eminently reasonable, since other developed nations have this.
anti-genocide should also be a non-negotiable 'purity test' as well, to the dismay of many establishment Dems arms-deep in AIPAC money
