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.

Nobody wants to be paid minimum wage standing on their feet for 8 straight hours with a 5 minute break while a bunch of over-entitled Karens yell at them because an expired coupon won't work.
"But at least you have a job!"
My mom says this shit all the time. "Just be glad you have a job" is like excusing being in an abusive relationship because being single sucks
This is something the lockdowns taught people. That not having a job isn't actually worse than the shit jobs they were forced to do.
