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.

Agreed, but you don't stop it by paying them less. You have to regulate and enforce it.
Yeah, about that enforcement part... Never gonna happen without some major upheaval.
Or just vote for the right people.
When the "right people" rarely are even an option - especially one that enough of the general populace can be convinced to vote for - that's not getting us anywhere.
Pay them less and the rich people will be an option even more rarely because only people already rich can get in.
Yeah, their pay isn't the problem. The lobbying and corruption is.
