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
1 out of every 169 people work for Amazon. Your stance is that they're all evil.
How privileged you must be to have loads of employment options at your fingertips.
My stance is that most people have poor reading comprehension. Thanks for making my point.
I said „without necessity“. Having no other comparable options qualifies as necessity in my book.
Activism is great but the moment people shun others for not ruining themselves for the cause they become radicals.
So no, thats not my stance.
And no, I havent been born privileged in the typical western way. But I have the privilege of being pretty smart which enabled me to escape the prison of an uneducated, violent household.
And yes, I hold people accountable for not giving a shit about others. Deal with it.
People have low reading comprehension because they didn't assume that "necessity" meant some specific thing in your head? If you want to be understood, maybe share more context.
Regardless, you sound super judgy of people whose situation you have no concept of. This tracks very well with your insistence that you care about others. People who care about others don't need to state it. It shows in how they treat people.
And you've been needlessly mean in just this simple conversation. So no, you don't care about others. You just want to project that persona.
