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.

Man, this is heavy to read, especially with International Labour Day around the corner. We talk so much about productivity, growth, and prosperity but the reality is that labour has been squeezed harder and harder while the benefits of that prosperity keep flowing upward.
Who is seriously championing a four day work week? Who is pushing for fairer wealth distribution? Who is fighting for regulations that actually protect workers from burnout, insecurity, harassment and endless stress?
At some point, we have to admit that these are not just personal health issues. They are structural issues. Work should not be costing people their health, their families, their peace, and in too many cases, their lives. I hate this.
