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.

What the actual F? How is such a small % in a union? In my country 94% of employed 25-54 year olds are in a union.
I have literally never met anyone (aside from self-employed people) who told me or indicated to me that they weren't in a union.
40 years of propaganda
What op should do it take a country like yours and put it on the same graph. If average wage goes down for your country too then it's highly likely not to be a union factor and instead something else.

It's more likely WW2 effects, immigration and increasing competitiveness of the world.
