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.

In their eyes. That doesn't make it true. Education is, and should be treated as, the backbone of society.
Oh, I'm a teacher by trade. You needn't convince me of the merits of my job.
That point was meant to underline that the most bankable benefit of public education in the eyes of the American public is having the security of knowing their kids will be cared for free somewhere during (most) of their working hours. People are fucking exhausted from work, stress, and fear, robbing them of the potential of seeing it as much else.
