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.

Organization is one thing. Hierarchy is another. Try doing the former without someone emerging to ensure the latter to their own benefit. I'm an anarchist, not an anorganist.
How do we organize millions-if-not-billions of people in a cooperative structure without having a system to it and recognizing that some people have skills that others do not? A really big, really lengthy conversation?
All we have to do is follow the same fractal scale as everything else that built up to us. Particles form molecules, DNA forms chromosomes, cells form organisms, organisms form social groups. We don't all mash our bodies together to make one large human organism do we? Then why do we feel the need to do the same with our naturally small social bodies? Those bodies should instead be treated as cells of a body another step up the scale, and so on as needed.
