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.

Other people. You know they exist, right? They’re the people that aren’t you while you’re out and about.
I agree, it does matter in certain contexts like local news. But this is Workreform here, how does it matter in this context?
First paragraph.
They’re stripping established earnings from the workers - essentially paying them less. How do you not understand this?
The workers are partially payed in being able to visit the park cheaper?
Yes. Cold, hard dosh isn't the only way to reward someone for their labour, and work reform isn't only about getting paid more money.
Oooof. Okay, never mind then, this needs to change.
It doesn't if you just read the headline and assume you are up to speed.
