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.

That's fucked up. Nobody should have student debt, whatever generation.
I'm half and half. Agreed that it's fucked up, particularly if they're actually talking about millennials and not gen Z.
But I disagree in principle about student debt. It's a valid tradeoff to make (between getting a job straight out of highschool and going to college to open up better paying careers), and I wouldn't have any problems with student loans if tuition were still reasonable.
I'd say the bigger problem is the structure of the economy. College is supposed to unlock a lot of "grownup jobs". That breaks when you actually only have McJobs available after that big college investment.
Not going to uni is feeling like one of the best choices I ever made
