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.

Also Bernie Sanders:
"Cruel and illegal war on Gaza must end, we must block arms sales to Israel"
That doesn't seem right "Sanders on Ending Unfettered Military Aid to Israel and Restoring UNRWA Funding"
May I see your source on Sanders wanting to cleanse Palestine?
You are not helping your cause with bullshit. Unless your goal is to disrupt things.
Tf are you talking about
Bernie was a bit slow to get going, but he's also one of the most vocal US senators against Israel.
do you have a source to back up this outlandish claim?
Honest question, is his record on palestine mixed? He's made a lot of pro palestine comments but if there's nuance to whether he's supported them, or where he's drawn the line I'd be interested to know about it
Wow
For the sake of being clear, Bernie has criticized Israel very explicitly and has condemned their violence more than the vast majority of US politicians, please don't just take what that random guy said at face value.
Its entirely possible Bernie has a mixed record on Palestine or isn't a perfect representative (I'd need to go look at primary sources and ideally voting records), but the person who left that comment is likely just expressing their anger at feeling like there's not more they can do to help, knowing that innocent lives are being lost
Hopelessness that has turned into bitterness is understandable in the current global political landscape but isn't a good source of credible information
Edit: not gonna go check voting records cause I would have to learn how and barely have the emotional energy to feed myself right now, but here's a quote from sanders' website
Here is the page the quote is from, which at a glance explains that as a Jewish American, Bernie is in a unique position to criticize the actions of the Israeli government https://www.sanders.senate.gov/in-the-news/sen-bernie-sanders-has-become-a-leading-critic-of-israels-war-in-gaza/
