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.

Idk, feels like you're desperately trying to simplify a complex situation.
Obviously there is a 10% who own half the wealth in the USA, and obviously there is a further 1% who own the majority of that, but that for the most part correlates but also runs seperate to the level of authority and influence they have.
The same amount of wealth could give them either much more or much less power in a monarchy/dictatorship depending on their lineage, for example.
I don't think we're hearing each other here.
