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'm trying to be optimistic that I'll see a 4 day work week in the US in my lifetime.
That’s the dream!!!!
Some people might see a 4 day work work with 10-12 hour days, maybe.
I’m optimistic of this as well. I know it will happen. If climate change doesn’t wipe us out before then lol
Doesn't seem that likely too me. I know there's been multiple European countries doing small scale experiments with it but is there anything similar going on in the US?
Work won't be by the hour in 20 years. It'll be more gig-based, online, and independent. "Four days" will probably lose meaning by then.
