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.

Louisiana was the only state that didn't secede because of the issue of slavery per se.
they were afraid that their human breeding programs and slave market/futures market would collapse
if you go to Walmart, Kroger, or Publix and look up the company that produces those big Dora balloons and other cartoon characters, that's all Louisiana slave labor.
the overton window in Louisiana is firmly in the territory of "well you gotta have slaves though" and probably will be like that forever
