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.

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.
