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.

Just want to add it's not just tb working class. Governments have been systematically kneecapped since post-WW2 in favour of pro-business and elitist whims. This is why we slowly are seeing our social safety nets stripped away across the world with nothing in return but diminishing returns.
We sell off public phones, hydro, water, etc. to fund the fact that we are taxing the rich and large corporations less and less. It's been a spiral for decades and decades at this point and no one cause can be pinpointed because it's been a series of changes that have brought it on while a small segment of the working class continue to see themselves as embarrassed millionaires and champion on the further stripping of our safety nets.
It's going to get far worse before it starts to get better. That's the only thing I can be sure of.
