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.

Looks like the Democrats have finally refined their messaging, now all they need to do is form a coalition more powerful than the establishment DINO centrists.
I wouldn't say the democrats have refined their messaging. The leftist democrats who are saying these things are still a minority while the majority of the democratic party want to be seen as centrists who aren't hostile to big business.
But at least it has gone from 1 prominent person saying these things (Sanders) to now enough that you can no longer count them on just one hand.
The money, power and majority of the democratic party is still against them. But, it really seems like voters are behind them.
Perhaps the good thing is that so many democratic politicians lack a spine. It means that if it's clear that the democratic socialist message has momentum, they'll happily pivot to the new shiny thing and adopt it as if it's where they were all along.
