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.

Do it! Best decision I ever made.
Unless by "overseas" you mean "to the US of some other oppressive country". In that case maybe don't do it.
I just spent thirty minutes running down the whole thing with my therapist. Basically, I think I'm choosing between being lonely (depressed) or angry if I stay. Sure, I'll make friends, but I'll be leaving behind a hell of a circle of people who I love with friendships covering many years, so it won't be the same. I also have to leave my partner behind as she's a refugee in this country and can't travel abroad as a result. It's tough, y'know.
Thanks for the encouragement.
