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.

And how is that different from slavery?
It isn't, this is how they get around it, and literally wrote into the amendment banning slavery to leave a carve out for prisoners
Could also explain why prisons are such a big industry in the US
All of our 401ks invest in it.
also to put them in perpetually low wage jobs, where they cant complain, much like they do with Immigrants. and to live them socioeconomically disadvantaged for generations with no way to lift them out of.
They get a whole 3/5 of their wages!
I see what you did there
it is slavery with extra steps, and to say its "not like slavery"
