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.

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC are all pretty solid.
You aren't outsourcing it. AI can't take it. It's manual labor.
People will pay a lot to keep shit from flowing into their house.
Heh no. All of those are being automated and dumbed down.
In a few years all you'll need is an unskilled labourer and a robot.
We've seen robots struggling to handle picking up boxes for like a decade now. They're still struggling with that. Tight spaced delicate movements isn't in the near future, yet.
Transportation is going to be the first industry majorly replaced by automation, not the trades.
