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.

An economist is at a baseball game when he sees a man outraged that a hotdog costs twelve dollars, and a beer costs 20. "I just wanted to have a fun day with my family, but tickets are suddenly 100 dollars! Now this?!"
What an idiot, the economist thinks. Can't he see the revenue he's generating?? The economist pays 64 dollars for two hotdogs and two beers, which he immediately drops on the ground, which makes him very happy.
