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.

They don't have to spend it all, you know. If they can reward corporations for negotiating in good faith by limiting the damage of the strike, they're retaining leverage. They can still go full strike later, but it looks like it's not necessary.
I'm sure the UAW knows what they're doing.
Besides, if they were to hurt the corporations too much, they'll end up hurting sales of American cars, giving foreign competitors inroads. China's car workers aren't unionised, so importing those cars hurts unions everywhere.
