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.

MODERATORS
No almost about it. It is adversarial in a lot (maybe most) cases. When it is only, and always, about money, with no other priority the company has a strong incentive to screw over and exploit workers more. And if beholden to shareholders, squeezing blood from every stone is a requirement.
Chasing dollars sure seems to be at odds with virtually anything good and decent.
even in my experience (research/healthcare) this is a reality, theres so much preventable brain drain from people in critical positions who have just had enough.
