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.

To be clear, he is not elected. He won the democratic party nomination for the senate from Michigan. He is prominent because he is Muslim and progressive and is not the kind of candidate we usually get from the democrats for a seat this important. Most of the prominent democrats (elected or in party leadership) had supported his opponent. Also much more money was spent against him in the nominating race than for him. And much of the funding supporting his opponent (or denigrating him) was from AIPAC.
Yeah, if elected he will be 1/100 people voting in half of congress.
Granted his vote being 1/100 is better than being in the house which has 435.
So if you can get the right 269 people to agree on something good, it will go to the president and be vetod.
i believed the other "DINO" was funded by AIPAC to about 35mil, almost 65mil in total for her campaign alone.
