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.

Boss: I've decided to pay you shit wages and expect you to work nightmare hours.
Union: We've all banded together and would collectively like to tell you that we prefer better wages and more reasonable hours, or else we will strike.
Boss: I've decided you can't do that, or else.
Union: Yes, or else, indeed. That's the core concept here.
Call his fuckin' bluff, or else you don't really have a union at all.
I would love to hear about the day TSA simply didn't show up. Make this happen, folks.
All their options to deal with it are embarrassing for the stooges in charge.
Just sounds like a win-win. The fascists no longer have their travel cops, and people no longer have to deal with the useless bullshit of the TSA.
Ronald Reagan did exactly that with air traffic controllers. Fired the lot of them.
