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.

Because everybody is so preoccupied with fighting for their own well being they don’t want to step ahead of the line and get beaten. It’s either all of us at once or none at all, and we choose the second option.
You know why? Because each of us deep down is as selfish and greedy as the capitalists, we care for nothing but ourselves and even if we toppled the „elites” of today we would replace them with different psychopaths again. There never was and never will be freedom in human societies.
