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.

As much as I don’t care about sports, I am ok with college sports. Ideally we would have a strong social program for higher education, and even if we do get that, college sports that net profits help pay for the rest of the college. Programs that don’t make money are where many Olympic athletes come from. As long as people don’t loose themselves to it, it’s a way to get money moving. That said, I really want to see pay caps everywhere. What we don’t want to see is money getting thrown at coaches and players to the detriment of other parts of the college.
College coaches make 20-30x Nobel Laureates. They money does NOT go back into education. Universities have become just an excuse for sports leagues.
