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 think you should stop calling it democratic socialism and instead call it social democracy. Socialism scares people. It's not per se socialism you might want, this is the shit that would transform the US to a beautiful place to live in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy
Social democracy alone could do that? You might be overestimating it then. Ideologies are not magic
"If we stop calling it global warming then they'll understand. It's all about messaging, they'll come around if we give them what they claim to want."
That's you.
Never concede to right-wing framing
The polices are popular. The more Democratic socialists in office that deliver positive material change, the more popular it becomes
Democrats aren't conceding to it. They're writing it for them.
