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.

Keeping people focused on culture wars to prevent class war.
Considering how much the far-right culture-war propaganda machine dominates social media and mainstream television, I'm terrified that it works too well, and enough of the lumpenproletariat will suffer misery blindly so long as alleged enemies are made to suffer more.
I hope we're better than that, or can crack the code (or young people who grow up with it are more immune -- that is the case with general advertising). Otherwise it speaks to a horrible future for humanity.
I hope so, too. It's not just the far right, though. It's the far rich.
