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.

REI is a consumer co-operative, not a worker co-operative.
Consumer cooperatives make sense in the context of a utility but not for a retail store.
I'm a fan of them, but it's much meaningful of the small scale in my experience. My local community coop grocery for example brings in stuff that is basically custom for us.
REI feels a little too big so far for me to have that voice but stuff like this is probably when it works.
