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.

Well, that's the answer. Some bosses don't want their employees to have any freedom or control over their lives.
The Boss wants control over every aspect of their employee's lives: from how early they need to get up, to how long they must sit in a car for on their commute, to when they eat/shit/smoke/stretch, to how long they stare at their computer monitor, to how many useless meetings they can squeeze into each day.
This is only about control, not empty office buildings or productivity or creativity. 100% control over everyone beneath them.
