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.

If fifty an hour became minimum wage, I'd get the hell out of my soul crushing accounting gig and go become a parking lot attendant faster than you can say, "cash or credit?"
It's three o'clock in the morning and I'm just leaving for work. I got home after eight last night. This won't stop until late October. I spend those hours getting yelled at by rich people. I'd LOVE to downgrade my profession.
Imagine how much they’d have to raise your current wage to remain competitive. Especially with such a poor work life balance.
That's my point. The whole thing sets off massive currency devaluation
I wonder what that would be like... /s
