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.

Bro, americans are slaves. I thought they abolished slavery.
Only for everything other than punishment, and being poor is a crime in America.
If you're too poor you're literally sent to a gulag and forced into slave work.
They also practice slavery in their gulags.
They got chain gangs in Florida, in this prison where they eat meat scraps for alligators; the packaging says 'not suitable for human consumption'.
Watching Joe Arpaio proudly show off his concentration camp in Arizona to Chinese diplomats and with a grin talk about how they put women in chain gangs, earning hardly veiled disgust from the representatives of the second most brutal regime on earth.
The veils need to come off across the board I reckon.
