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.

All they're asking is to work at or below the amount they've lobbied to let them pay you legally, which at the federal level hasn't increased a cent since 2009.
Just a matter of showing up to a job without being able to get medical care because the industry is twisted to not address and deny care if you're lucky enough to pay exorbitant rates for "healthcare".
Simply show up for that job in a car that you can in no way afford with gas that you can't afford after eating a breakfast you can't afford.
Also, for many who do want to enjoy this exploration and are working the Trump government is making it more difficult for them to stay and work by announcing last week more than one million workers will need to leave the US first if they want to stay and work permanently. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgrpz4l1klgo
