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.

Many of the best things in America are Socialist: Public schools, libraries, museums, fire departments, municipal parks/playground, state parks, national parks, highways, bridges, monuments, etc.
Many people are far more afraid of the WORD Socialist, than actual Socialist concepts. Socialism and Communism have become far too closely associated, to the point of being synonyms, and the Dems have to change that perception.
That's just one key part of their messaging game that they have take control of. The Conservative Propaganda Machine does a great job of not only controlling their own messaging, but the Dems have always allowed them to define Democratic concepts as well. It's long past time when the Dems flip the tables, and take control of their own messaging, and start defining MAGA as treasonous, corrupt, racist, and pedophilic, and depraved.
