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.

Why are Walmart employees using food stamps and medicaid when the family that owns Walmart are multibillionaires? It doesn't make any sense. :\
Gotta keep that overhead low to return value to shareholders. They also use prison labor.
you're wrongly assuming that the family that owns walmart has any empathy besides what is required to keep the business running
It makes perfect sense for them. It doesn't make sense that the rest of us don't beat them until they change their ways.
eh, i tend to think that political action is more meaningful than bashing the companies. if you bash 1 company and it goes down, another one takes its place. you need to implement higher taxation because that affects all companies.
also we need more effective politics at the local level. washington doesn't care about us
We should tax wealth not work. But that's not socialism. Socialism is workers owning the means of production.
wealth is accumulated income. income is generally from work. that's the logic they use to justify already having taxed wealth. simple as that.
Wealth disparities of millions of times are anathema to democratic government. If you don't want peasants and feudal nobility, you have to offset wealth accumulation.
Inheritance taxes have proven insufficient. So wealth taxes are the next best compromise.
Sarcasm is forever lost on the internet.
