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.

Have you tried ordering an hour of labor from any company? Those have gone up as well.
Have you tried paying an employee an hour of labor as a company? Paying an hour of labor has also gone up significantly.
Yeah, if you want to hire temporary workers it costs like £30 per hour but they get £10, all these very necessary middlemen
When is you how direct, it costs 100k to how an employee you pay 66k/hr.
You need to pay half of the social security, half of the unemployment, and in California, its 18k/yr for medical, (36k if he has a family), payroll tax, and that is if you provide zero retirement benefits.
