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.

Even that isn't complete protection. The government can always change the rules as they go. Not to mention a complete breakdown of society wouldn't exactly do wonders for pensions and 401k's either.
It's a good thing that Biden's NLRB is the most pro-union in living memory then, isn't it?
Edit; also, contracts are binding. If and when we enter a world in which union contracts are tossed out by authoritarian fiat, we're in much bigger trouble than simple anti-uion policies.
