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.

Unionizing is NEVER illegal. Source: The thousands upon thousands of people that have died over the years for your right to organize.
And besides, what're they gonna do, put them in prison?
The video gets into this a bit; what the workers are threatened with for not working is stuff like being put in a more dangerous environment and not being able to see their families.
Sounds cruel and unusual
Definitely cruel but not at all unusual. And as SCOTUS has determined, a punishment has to be both cruel and unusual to be unconstitutional.
lol, right?
Lol. For prisoners; you wanna bet?
for prisoners? pretty sure they cant unionize, and they wont be able to.
