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.

If you want them to flip burgers for you, pay them what you'd want to make flipping burgers for them.
And I'll even say, I don't want to flip burgers. The thing I want to do most is my job, and other people can do other jobs. I feel like there's always this fear, oh, who will do the skilled/educated jobs! Like, smart folks will not suddenly be like "Eh, I don't want to be a doctor anymore because people can survive on flipping burgers."
