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.

Amazing summary, and I'm glad you mentioned landlords. I am having such a struggle lately when people tell me about their 'side hustle' as a landlord, and how they make so much passive income. I just wanna scream "so you feel good about making money doing basically nothing while there are so many people unsheltered, and living paycheck to paycheck?".
It’s hard to have true empathy for something you have no real concept of.
