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.

MODERATORS
Considering its function is to protect the establishment, I question the characterization of its being overrated.
That's mostly true, but some people who aren't generally that pro-establishment themselves still see it as inherently trustworthy and politically left of center even though it's neither. I blame MSM being an invariably pro-establishment circlejerk.
Right. I am only adding that its efficacy would diminish if it represented itself as pro-establishment.
Those who understand its function as pro-establishment, and those who are not concerned, are the two groups that are least consequential.
It is third, which you mentioned, who are most relevant, the ones who may be most easily influenced toward an effect that is substantial overall
