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.

Trump and his oligarch friends do not give a wit about the working class, in fact resent us. They would rather work us to death like slaves at a sugar cane plantation than treat us with decency even if the latter is more profitable to them.
This is why in the US labor unions have had to claw all of the worker treatment regulations that existed (and are no longer enforced) in the workplace, from the weekend and forty-hour work week to safe working conditions.
Since it's easier for the owner class to bust unions than it is for workers to form them, civilization might just be screwed until we figure out how to universally teach class consciousness.
