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.

cam to say 9% of that 10% is reliant on the 90% doing better so it keeps shrinking. Its insane when you look at the top wealthiest individuals just to see the jumps from the first few. Its why musk keeps staying on top even with stupid moves. the others have to make so much to get to where he is if he does not grow at all. That is the problem with wealth equality. Its not just rich and poor its about the general hollowing out of the middle. When I was young being doctor meant a real nice life but for many gp's its like they can get what a typical middle class was like. they have a nice house and can have a car or two and actually put away from retirement but having a vacation home and those cars being new luxury cars is not a given. The new middle class is like yesterday upper middle class while the middle class and working class form back then are trying to just stay above water now.
