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.

Why do I have to choose between the radical left and the radical right?
What if I’m a male xenophobic racist who wants women to exist as sex toys to men and have no rights of their own and supports killing random civilians and children in other countries, especially when it grows in to genocide, but also wants a good life for the common male workers of the country, universal healthcare, and a sustainable climate?
I want that universal health care and education, I want more affordable homes and such, but I also want to see goon squads in the street beating brown people with batons as often as possible because it makes me laugh. Why can't I have both?
i knew people in university who probably actually thought this way.
Sadly if you just look at the last paragraph and replace the brown people bit with whoever a person feels justified to hate it seems like most people think something along these lines.
People who still buy Harry Potter books or merchandise? Republicans? People from cultures where homosexuality is considered wrong who honestly speak about their own views?
I think many of the loving tolerant folk of the internet would be thrilled with a world of universal health care, education, affordable homes, and seeing some or all of those people beaten in the streets.
you can probably get 90% approval by having it be pedophiles getting beaten in the street, but society isn't ready for that conversation
