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.

Working from inside a system that has been corrupt from the beginning doesn't work
Many parts of the system were designed to disenfranchise various groups. One of the most effective of those parts is the message that your vote doesn't matter.
Refuse to be disenfranchised. GO VOTE.
And that they're all the same.
They're not.
Voting is like taking public transportation, it's not going to take you to your exact destination but you get on the bus that gets you closer.
Not getting on the bus because it doesn't go exactly where you want to, or you don't like the bus driver is allowing others to take you in the exact opposite direction.
Voting alone might not but it's an important part of the process. You should agitate and organize, but also go vote and get your friends to go with you.
Soap, ballot, ammo. Gotta go through the boxes in order.
That’d make a hell of a T-shirt slogan!
Why not
