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 wish this were true. But the machinery of capitalism can buy up and integrate private journalist institutions (or censor them out of existence) faster and more fluidly than individual information consumers can get out of the way.
Look at the way Newsmax has supplanted Fox, despite hosting all the same awful opinions from many of the same awful opinions. Or how Musk has gobbled up Twitter and Reddit, pushing a minority of a minority onto spaces like Mastadon, Bluesky, and Lemmy. Or Bezos buying WaPo. Or the Ellisons gobbling up CBS. Or Biden letting Donald Trump hand TikTok to his former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin for a song.
At some point, there's nowhere to run.
