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.

someone remind me what happened in the 70s
I can only answer your question with a question: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
It’s crazy seeing how old the graphs on that site are now.
As I understand it, it's the effect of a number of policy decisions intended in the surface to stabilize the economy. They stopped approving minimum wage hikes, they accepted a higher rate of unemployment due to factory automation, etc. Also, the difference between worker and executive compensation has grown tremendously.
okay, yes, obviously it's being stolen and the only solution will come when the last owner is hanged with the entrails of the last enforcer, but can we still have a crossover fic where holmes and shaggy expose capitalism with wacky hijinx, then holmes figures out what's in scooby snax and gets addicted to them?
