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.

Only time this hasn't happened to me in my "career" years was employment with US companies. But they still had enterprise agreements approved by the government ensuring we didn't end up like...well...US citizens
I like to tell Libertarian types that even if European systems aren't perfect they still have material results. If they want people to buy into their Austrian mindset they need to deliver more to get votes to further de regulate. Fortunately corporations short term thinking means that ideology will never have popular good will.
