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.

My conservative civics teacher once said that all unions, with the exception of Teacher Unions were obsolete. I wonder how he's feeling right now.
"All unions are bad except my union" is the much more consistent application of inherently hypocritical conservative values, compared to what they can say to a broad audience through right wing media. Hilarious.
A more concise and universal description of conservative values is: "Fuck you, got mine."
This guy was such a bootlicker, I'm surprised he didn't also exempt Police Unions.
Anyone that doesn't like unions is very stupid, or very rich.
Rich people also like trade unions, just not if it's also the poor doing it.
Business cartels are the oligarchs' equivalent - lobbying for corruption.
Poor and stupid or rich and stupid.
Unions are the new solution to an old problem. The previous solution was dragging the boss out of his house in the middle of the night.
