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.

I don't believe it was intentional but adding on "a low-income Black city" feels unnecessary.
Like, sure, that is likely the reason the administration is utterly uninterested in helping. But its addition will just fuel diversions by racist, e.g. "well, why are they 'low-income'? Maybe those blacks should just get to work instead of waiting for handouts."
Just saying a US city is without power for 2 weeks should be damning enough.
Yeah why point out that it's because of racism, we already know they're Nazis /s
