Work Reform
9857 readers
7 users here now
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.

Sounds like they need to step up their game by housing the homeless in every way possible. Especially if it guts corporations.
As I said, they have zero ability to do so, as individual entities, outside of the humans involved voting, which is a default action, although.outsude this hiring scenario.
It's not a "low" ability, it's "zero". So there's no "step up" because there's nothing to step.
Work reform, and housing reform come from government action, which is achieved through activism and voting.
Edit down votes from those expressing idealistic, unfocused, unhelpful behavior. Preaching platitudes does nothing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying
A prospective hire is going to start lobbying, to change the system, to get an address, to get hired? This is what I'm talking about, y'all keep proposing efforts to create systemic change, which the players in the scenario neither have the time or ability to complete.
And lobbying is structured activism (via advocacy), which I mentioned in general.
