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.

how does this relate to inflation? like i know housing went up more than it should but that's still a more accurate comparison
I don't think the post said anything about inflation but I suppose it kinda relates because both things do cost more dollars than they used to.
Keynes predicted we'd have a 15-hour work week by now-ish. This was not the plan. Hell, we only adopted the Keynesian rationale after Tricky Dick ""temporarily"" broke the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971.
