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.

Technically speaking, there is more to being a member of Congress than being in Congress and debating/voting. There is a lot they do for local constituents.
That said, a lot of what they do is certainly fundraising… of various kinds. And running for office. So I'm not saying the claims are totally false by any means. But it's not quite as bad as that makes it look. Only mostly as bad or so.
