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.

I know! False dichotomies!
People can vote and also be critical of a party that keeps betraying them. Let me know when you get some of those candidates that are interested in solving problems. I see precious few of them, and am very much looking forward to voting for Talarico this November. I haven't seen much in the way of attempts by centrists to sink his campaign since his opponent in the primaries was also a progressive, and his messaging actually has some thought behind it.
I know this thread's about Lucy with the football, but that's every election in Texas. "Maybe this time a democrat will win." But holy fuck, can you imagine if a progressive took Texas of all places? It would instantly and permanently destroy the self-serving "progressives can't win anywhere but the bluest states" narrative of the entrenched centrist hegemony.
I have a little bit of hope too.
