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.

empires rise and fall but the fall doesn't ever make things better, it just changes who is doing all of the exploitation and often makes things worse.
Well the thing is no empire truly fall. They leave behind, a seed, a catalyst for the next empire. If not destroyed then you're still in the cycle and hope becomes temporary.
no, you're missing the point. empires are irrelevant. you're thinking of it like it's some strategy game. it doesn't matter if the empire is completely destroyed, the heirarchies of oppression themselves will remain - capitalism, patriarchy, the police, the military, the clergy, the judiciary, the bureaucracy, whatever.
