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.

About damn time organized labor started pushing back hard on the insane levels of spin generated by our media orgs. I so deeply wish more unions would follow their lead. Also, as a software engineer, I so deeply wish I had a proper national or regional union to join.
The largest problem with those ~~propaganda~~ "news" organizations is they choose what to talk about, so this "pushback" won't be heard by anyone who needs to hear it...
We're all in our chosen echo chambers and live completely different "realities."
:(
Well in terms of root cause, they do that because their primary corporate motive is profitability, full stop. That’s it. That’s the only consistent goal.
