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.

Really need to have a clear definition of "stay afloat"
Stockholm syndrome, man...
That really is understated and underfocused on. They're trying to save face and be hire-able, but the reality is that "stay afloat" means millions spent on vintage cars while people like that family struggle towards their future. Stay afloat my ass. It's the sneering face of evil greed that equates to "staying afloat".
Just trying to survive, man... Paycheck to paycheck (that's thrown into Uncle Scrooges money bin).
