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.

I am in no way a fan of Snoop Dogg's music, so I don't know a huge amount about him, but everything I hear about him makes him sound like a stand-up guy that everyone should admire.
Anyone able to explain how this really helps though? I mean is Bob Iger going to be like “we have to get this solved quick! I’m trying to hear Gin and Juice live!”
What the others have said as well the pressure of public opinion. The effects of the strike may not be felt for months but if musical artists start cancelling shows, this is going to effect the fans now. The public outrage towards execs and companies can be very persuasive.
