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 lived in the US for the better part of a decade, yet still can't understand why so many Americans still don't understand their own political system, despite being heavily engaged in it on a personal level.
They treat politics like sport and repeat the same tired talking points, like vote blue no matter who. This is literally the behavior that got their Republican party into such a mess - they voted red even if brain dead. Now their own party continually works against their better interests, but they keep voting for them because they can't let the "social communist Democrats turn the US into a homosexual Muslim hellscape" or whatever.
They're not voting for the change they want, but to prevent the other guys from making the changes they don't want. This has been the cycle for decades and things keep getting worse.
Wake up, Americans. The rest of the world sees it. Why can't you?
