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.

Nobody is getting rich by writing a textbook. The most likely reason for using a book they wrote is that it includes information they thought was important.
My experience directly contradicts your claim. I took 2 physics courses in university, both with a mandatory textbook (University Physics) that all of the assignments were based on. And then the final exam was nothing like any of the assignments from the book.
