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.

Awww. I'm so sad for these billionaires.
Would you pay $20 for a Big Mac? ...though they'll probably automate the cooking and cashier positions, so they don't have to pay an employee what I make as a robotics technician.
No, I wouldn't. That's why they won't price it at $20. They're gonna have to figure something else out or just have a complete negative loss in the state. You can try to price gouge people but they'll likely just go somewhere else. This is some bs thinking through and through
