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.

No doubt about that.
The beauty of a library is most librarians love their job and are altruistically motivated, which can help when they spot someone regularly checking out sketchy stuff. For example, "The Prince" by Machiavelli being checked out by some 22 year old would elicit a small conversation at the counter about why he's a bad person to learn from. Those types of small guiding interactions that encourage openness in thought don't exist on the internet. The internet is also entertaining enough to find its way into influencing people who aren't as likely to have a conversation like that at a library in the first place. There's a whole list of small things like that which have previously made access to info more likely to be positive that simply aren't in place on the internet, and it adds up a ton.
