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.

First, I wasn't suggesting it as a permanent move. You live in the other place until you find a job back in your original location, but all the while you'd still have a job, income, and most importantly, health insurance.
Multiple times during my childhood one of my parents had to move ahead to a different city to take a job while the other parent stayed in the original place until the end of the school year and we'd move.
You do what you have to do to make ends meet. When there is no easy way you do the hard thing because thats what being an adult is.
