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.

It's getting rather tiresome to see every new report that the 4-day work week is a superior option delivered as if this is some groundbreaking new thing. Everybody knows it by now. The workers know it (not that they needed to be told), the C-suite knows it, the data backs it up, it's all there except the implementation...
I would appreciate it if further articles about this or instead framed as "Why don't we have a 4-day work week yet when it's common knowledge that it's the better option?" or "Our corporate overlords continue to demand a 5-day work week even though the superior way forward has been laid bare for all to see".
Of course, since those same overlords are the ones that control the narrative, it won't happen. But it's nice to dream!
