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.

I want to know, and this is somewhat rhetorical, how in the Hell do companies get to break laws, and at best only ever get fined? Better yet, how can they not be held accountable when they "promise" to make changes?
No no, I get it. Companies pay lobbyists and all. They buy their way out of trouble and pay lip service to a very complacent society. When will we wake up and do something about it?
