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.

A broken education system is one of the worst forms of elitism.
Without a living wage, teachers are leaving to be bartenders and delivery drivers. This means the public education system is left with a lack of good teachers. Without good public education, only the rich can afford to send their kids to private school with better teachers. That'll boost their academic ability and allow them to get an even more unfair advantage when they grow up.
that's very true!
