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.

Is this community going to be about organizing and taking action, or just memes and screenshots of tweets? (self.workreform)

I'm all for reforming our current work system, but we need organized action. Can we make that happen here? Or is there a different community for that?

Thanks! You definitely have some good ideas. Like you said, once it gets big enough we can think about splitting it, but we're nowhere near that threshold - as a comparison, the reddit equivalent has hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and it's being used for awareness posts/memes as well as advocacy (talking about strikes that are happening). I don't know what a good threshold is, but we're nowhere near large enough yet - we barely have 1 page of content, so there's room for everything.

In the meantime, feel free to keep posting advocacy/action ideas!
