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.

Except cop "unions" aren't labor unions.
Labor unions exist to advocate for fair pay and treatment for workers.
Cop "unions" exist to make sure that cops consistently get away with crimes up to and including murder.
The former is the foundation required for a more just society, whereas the latter is a cancer killing any possibility of it.
Any union can be a problem. On the extreme left, there's tyranny of unions, and on extreme right, there's tyranny of oligarchs. There needs to be balanced political leadership.
