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.

They still exist?
Sadly
America never moved on from relying on slave labour. It only adapted it.
At first it was still brown people with a corrupt justice and correctional system that locked up innocent people and rented them out as legal forced labour.
Then it became just maintaining a large basin of poor people through putting hurdles in the way of higher education and poverty traps (in which brown people are overrepresented). The point being to make them desperately fight over limited "unskilled jobs" for which they get paid just enough to keep them too busy starving to fight for better conditions.
I know Americans who work 65+ hours a week and can't even afford their own apartment. Forget raising kids on top of that. People are literally kept too busy to do anything about it. During COVID we saw people starting to refuse to do those jobs for that pay but we never saw a durable breakthrough.

Sadly can confirm Wendy's treats its workers poorly.
