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.

The typical response is: "they should have picked a higher paying job!"
This bugs me. This should be what we value in a society and it seems we care more about administrators and execs and stuff that do nothing rather than the people that make it all happen.
Everyone can name a teacher they love or loathed. The ones that make such a difference in your life stick with you.
Remember that those rich guys don't send their kids with our kids. They'll make sure that their kids are taken care of.
