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.

Before the revolution can happen.
So, that assumes that right now the revolution cannot happen, and only in future it can?
Other way around: if it doesn't happen soon enough, it becomes impossible.
We're already seeing cops murdering protesters and trying them as terrorists with little to no outcry from the mainstream.
If this shit continues, it'll become de facto legal for cops to murder protesters all over the country, just like it already is for people in cars in at least one state.
You are talking about state of the matter, I am talking the phrase by which I am confused. I would not be confused, for example, if it ended with “before it does” instead of “before it can”.
