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.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.
Working in a textile mill in 120 degree heat is work. It's work no one wants to do. No one comes in and argues pedantically about "well I find sweating my ass off for minimum wage fulfilling". That's work.
Going into your temperature controlled office where you're a CPA and get paid wonderfully and enjoy numbers isn't the same thing at all.
The work I'm referencing is the bottom tier shit that without it the economy would crumble. Not your SEO manager bullshit job that you think you love cause you're making 6 figures in a 5 figure town.
Yeah you're definitely one of those people that talks louder than whoever they're talking with and assumes they're right. Enjoy your "work".
