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.

Americans are not going to do anything about it lol.
What, are they supposed to NOT use Amazon, for starters? Are you actually insane? That's no way to live where they cannot get their labubu delivered on the same day!
i have been boycotting amazon since that guy died of a heart attack and didnt get emergency services. what was that, over 5 years ago? and still more horror stories keep coming out, yet i am looked at weirdly and questioned about why i dont spend my money there. it is like living in the twilight zone.
I always said the Americans wont fight back until there are only 30 brands of cereal on the shelf to pick from.
As long as they have their comforts and false sense of superiority, they will grumble but ultimately accept their authoritarian regime.
That's true for pretty much every society that's fallen to fascism. People often don't start rocking the boat to the extent where it affects change until food scarcity starts.
It's one of the components of humanity's Great Filter, IMO. The other being the sociopaths that take advantage of the complacency.
Say that after the Midterms.
I hope the rigging attempts won't be successful
It's extremely hard to rig a Midterm, too many tiny Congressional races. All you can do is manipulate them through gerrymandering and propaganda and hope for the best. It will help them a little bit this time, but they are going to be so overwhelmed by Dem votes that seats will flip that people didn't think were even in contention.
