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.

Also trying to claim "they're not employees if US. They're contractors" should mean you forfeit all your wealth and get banned from leadership positions for life.
It could maybe be written so it counts employees, part time and full, salary and hourly, contractors and even the contract itself, so you can't just fire the employees, make them contractors. And even clauses where you can't just give your buddy a no-bid contract for 14.7million (random number completely out of the air) for a shitty half-assed job nowhere near that price. (I don't know for sure, I don't do contract work for theoretical contracts like in my completely made up example.)
Same with shareholders and dividends and bonuses and stock and bonds and crypto and any other such bs. Any and every way a company could pay someone for any product or service. Whatever that max and min are. Or the average or something. Use that to cap the max or the max to force the min, whatever.
