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.

Vote the dems in, and THEN work on the revolution.
With democrats only doing strongly worded letters in the face of actual fascism, they will be no match for us.
No.
You are saying that you depend on the left in order to win. In politics, that's called leverage. The onus is on your party to run a candidate we find acceptable and behave in such a way that we reasonably believe they may uphold their campaign promises. Failing that, we do not care if your genocidal, oligarch-and-Zionazi-owned party wins or loses. You may view them as the lesser evil; that doesn't matter to people like me who view them as equally evil. You can argue on Lemmy and Threads and Bluesky all day, it won't change the minds of people who have seen what the Democrats are and what they support. You can win an election by meeting our demands, or you can keep losing. We owe you nothing and have no interest in your success otherwise.
Then make sure you vote for an actual progressive you see. Especially local elections. Otherwise pick up some AKs if you really want change apart from politics. I for one am not there yet.
Agreed and same. I think Luigi was morally correct but I personally value my life and freedom. I accept that's selfish and cowardly to a degree, but I also recognize I'm an animal who wants to reproduce someday and not die before then (or too early after).
Why should Dems change? Blue no matter who means your vote is free and your opinion has absolutely no political weight.
