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 a very broad generalization. Lots of people need to prove their prosperity with giant houses, and other people just want a house that has the room they need and isn't hard to clean. There are people who need designer label clothes and gold chains and people who are very happy with thrift shop aloha shirts. I don't think it's hardwired in at all, it's more of a personality quirk, like resistance to advertising or how spicy you like your food. Combination of genes, culture and habit.
