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.

I guess this closes certain avenues of BSing the system but also, wow that feels crazy arbitrary and unfair. Damn, it makes a lot of sense that this would be some kinda unspoken rule of what counts.
Not to be too conspiracy-brain but it really fits that notion that modern schooling exists solely to subsidize corporate recruitment.
"We made our own film/robots/fundraiser/business!" ๐๐
"I did several months' worth of free labor for a wealthy multinational conglomerate!" ๐ ๐๐
It's not a conspiracy that's openly what it's for
Cool. I agree. Was just covering my butt online, I suppose.
Especially because I don't want to come off as anti-education or anti-intellectual, but the gatekeepers to that education are so beyond corrupt at this point.
