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.

If the house goes how you suspect gerrymandering will backfire. Pack and Crack gerrymandering like republicans have been doing is the art of building as many pretty safe seats for your party as you can then attempting to shove the rest into as few as possible extremely safe seats for your opponents (if you can ensure none of your voters are in those districts you do it). It's finangling safety of seats vs number of seats, and republicans seem to be leveraging themselves a bit heavily at the moment.
If it's a bloodshed election, the gerrymandering will be most analogous to a dam that's bursting. What it had been holding back it's now providing an excess in its failure.
