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.

Well, he's running for US Senate (100 Senators total), which a much more powerful office than US Representative (435 Representatives total). Democrats have a pretty good chance of gaining majority in the US house of Representatives, but they'll do well to pull even in the Senate (currently at +3 to Republicans I think). So, the Democrat candidates running for Senate have a chance of making a much bigger impact to the balance of power (James Talarico in Texas is also an example of this). The fact that Abdul El-Sayed is 1) a (extremely handsome...) Muslim man, and 2) from the left progressive end of the party is making waves.
