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.

That's how corpos want this process structured...
Why should people waste their time to go through the dating process only to find counterparty is an idiot.
They can do that because they have the power. You only have power after an offer is made. Then leverage that power to get what you need.
corporate shills:
“they have the power”
also corporate shills:
“nobody wants to work any more”
that’s bullshit. labour has, and always will have the power
Knowing power dynamics doesn't make someone a shill. And leverage isn't binary. You just gain more when they make an offer. Is this really that hard for people?
