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.

Step 1: general strike.
How if we can't get time to strike, and can't save enough to survive without income?
It's technically where mutual aid comes in but I haven't seen much of that when we are all poor together.
We don't eat money. We eat food.
The reason we all need money to eat right now is that we all continue playing the capitalists' shitty game
While that's true capitalism also pushes a lot of bills that can't be paid in food. Rent? Want an avocado?
General strike means not paying rent in addition to not working.
They can't evict us all. Not enough sheriffs.
Solidarity is more than just liking each others memes. We can take care of each other if enough of us break the capitalist spell at the same time.
But when?
