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.

I don't wanna just say "this", but for real, excellently put.
"But we just have to abuse people for a little while until..."
Then it's not a viable business model. Easy as that.
Cooperatives are a thing, and they work, they just don't scale like cancer by generating hype-funding over destroying their employees, so they don't drum up so much excitement from the moneyed.
