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.

Except I actually cared about the union, and stayed up to date.
You picked a talking point and, like a Fox News anchor, stuck with it regardless of reality.
Ever hear the term "recency bias"?
The labor historians tried to stop the government from making a huge mistake BEFORE it happened because that's usually the best time to stop things from happening. They did not change their opinion after the mistake was made in spite of their warnings.
That your one Biden bootlicker opinion happened after that doesn't make it more valid than that of hundreds of experts any more than me being born after Napoleon makes me more skilled at battlefield strategy than him.
PS: if you care so much, why are you still pretending that IBEW was the only union involved rather than one out of a dozen?
Thanks for clearing that up.
Hooray, another ridiculous strawman! If that's the best you can do, please stop wasting my time.
You might wanna give "straw man fallacy" a Google, because this ain't it, chief.
You're changing my argument to a ridiculous one that's easier to attack. That's the definition of a strawman. Might want to stop being a cocksure idiot.
Also, I told you to stop wasting my time.
I didn't make that argument. You did. I just pulled it out and mocked it.
Again, I never said that. You're pretending that i did because it's easier to attack than what I'm actually saying. A more textbook strawman doesn't exist.
Now leave me alone.
You can just stop posting, you know?
And no I'm not gonna let you pretend you've done anything but lie this entire time.
There you go projecting again. Just fuck off.
I brought receipts. You brought lies.
Again with the fucking projection and pretending that one asskissing union leader is more important than hundreds of labor historians and the 10 unions who AREN'T happy with having the government take away their hard won rights and their most effective bargaining tool.
