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.

This is an all over problem but Alabama and Louisiana are so bad I avoid even driving through.
Alabama is bad but Louisiana is an absolute shithole state with crooks in the gov. Full of poverty when those should be very rich people. Too bad they didn't make the oil companies pay taxes for all that oil they drill or spill in the gulf every day.
Man, you are letting Mississippi off the hook here. I used to live in Louisiana but spent a lot of time working in Mississippi and I could not say which state is worse. The only good things about either one are the winter weather and the crawfish.
As a Mississippi refugee, Mississippi is worse. We don’t even have a fun city like New Orleans. I do miss the food though. Crawfish in the PNW are so tiny.
