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.

There are people in Scotland that crossed the coal miner's picket lines in the 80's who are pariahs to the day.
It's not a nice situation for anyone but they damn well knew that they were selling their souls. Fuck them.
Not just them, their whole family. There are people in Wales and Scotland that were bullied at school because their dad's crossed a picket line. It's something that'll almost literally define their lives in that area or country.
holy shit thats based
(not the bullying, just the anti-scab mentality)
Same here in Yorkshire.
