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.

What about all the unions who fought for healthcare?
-My dad, justifying voting for Hillary and later Biden in the primaries.
Every election it was "yes, the left have policy that would directly benefit us, but the moderates won't vote for that so I shouldn't either."
Well except when he voted Bush thinking he would get lower taxes.
“Moderates” is always such a silly term to me. They’re not actually moderate; their beliefs are corporate extremism.
Its not even a real thing. There is no contingent of voters who will vote for "means-tested subsidies to buy health insurance from 1 of 50 marketplaces based on what your family's expected healthcare needs are and employer contribution", but won't vote for free healthcare. There is no "help Israel do only a little genocide" vote.
But every time, cable news would dupe the poor man into voting for what some imaginary moderate wanted instead of policy that materially benefits everyone.
