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.

Are there bridges? Are those terrifying?
The tunnels that go through mountains are pretty scary and I heard a lot of of stories of people passing out going through them but it never happened to me.
We used to hop trains when we were kids. It's not terrifying until someone falls under the tracks and makes it out just in time.
It seems like if you are on the side of a car, you would fall out and away. And be relatively safe if you are young or have a healthy body. The other commenter is talking about what sounds like a trip through a whole national park. Falling off a bridge sounds not so survivable.
The momentum drags you under if you fall the wrong way.
Yes, there are more dangerous situations than falling under a train. Falling off a bridge may be one of them.
