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.

If workers like their job and feel appreciated, they work harder. The job also likely attracts better people.
They might be able to hire less people as a result
I did night fill at a supermarket here in Australia once. And there are so many useless people working at them. There was never any incentive to work beyond the minimum standard
Here in Australia at least, supermarkets are making record profits, so it would simply be less money for shareholders
I'm not talking about the pay rate, I'm talking about rapidly expanding into a market and hiring thousands of people.
This is exactly what companies like Google and Amazon due to keep a continuous cycle of growth and layoffs going for optics on share value.
