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.

Do you even understand what I'm trying to say here? I'm not blaming immigrants for the far-right, but rather saying that it's dangerous to assume that countries like Mexico have "solved" the far-right when in all likelihood the conditions for a strong far-right to emerge just aren't there yet. How to prevent fascism in the 21st century is still an open question, and hasn't been answered by Mexico as the article implies.
