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.

Over funded how? Right now they still collect social security. Are you suggesting they should pay more into SS and then collect less to turn it into a tax?
Pay their fair share is what it is called.6
They do. SS is not a tax. It’s a required investment plan. The reason it’s skewed in percentage is because it maxes out and is shown relative to their income. Just raise taxes the proper way.
YES
Yes.
Why not raise taxes instead of ruining a honorable program?
What does honorable mean in this context? Pay in on what you earn, that's all. That would be honorable. If you make millions, why do you care? Your retirement is safe either way, help others have at least a little security.
