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.

‘No Business Which Depends for Existence on Paying Less Than Living Wages to Its Workers Has Any Right to Continue in This Country’
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Good to know that things ultimately haven't changed in the last 100 years or so... The rich and powerful have always been selfish pricjs.
“I used to work at McDonald's making minimum wage. You know what that means when someone pays you minimum wage? You know what your boss was trying to say? "Hey if I could pay you less, I would, but it's against the law.” ― Chris Rock
McDonald's are the folks that presented a budget on how to live on the wage they give. . Step 1 was to get a second job.
Are they partnered with Walmart? They teach you how to get food stamps
Which is a roundabout way to say "Walmart subsidizes its payroll with tax dollars".
And where do those foodstamps get spent?
We've re-invented the company store with way too many extra steps.
Honestly I feel like Walmart is being less insulting with that, at least that can help and isn't just a straight up statement that someone should quite if they can.
