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.

How do you eat an elephant?
To quote Gavin “It would take several days of munching and chewing.”
You start by killing the elephant.
Problem is too many Dems are trying to work with the elephant to reach a consensus.
It's an expression. The answer is "one bite at a time." When dealing with a large problem, you have to break it down into many small parts.
I know the expression. But an issue we run across a lot on the left is either being too accommodating to the opposition or trying to skip steps out of excitement.
Mandami is stuck in an intersection of both issues. Establishment Dems are trying to work with the elephants, progressives want the meal to be finished, and Mandami is in the middle trying to keep peace with both sides by refusing to kill the elephant but still trying to eat it.
