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.

Several states have Working Families Party. IMO a better name, no mention of socialism (even though they usually endorse progressive or socialist candidates) and in some states (e.g. New York) they are legally a party, so they get their own column in the ballot on state and local level (alongside Democratic and Republican parties). DSA is not legally a party afaik.
When WFP is legally the same as Democrats they have the same quality control problem but worse, random MAGA guys can show up with $10k and pay somebody to collect enough signatures to legally make themselves the Working Families candidate without the party knowing it's happening until it's too late.
