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.

Why is no ones first thought, fine I'll just stop using Amazon? Is everyone so addicted to bezos' teat that they can't imagine going to the store?
Amazon has done much to eliminate it's competition. We used to have Radio Shack, Fry's, and Toys R Us, and Barnes & Noble, lost of small businesses, etc, now most or all of that is gone and we have Amazon, Wal-mart or other similarly bad company, and a few random small business that might not fit your needs.
Sometimes when I have tried to avoid Amazon by going directly to the company, I find that they sell through Amazon anyways. Amazon needs to be split up by the government. These companies have intentionally made themselves too big and diverse to effectively boycott.
I don’t use Amazon anymore. I don’t live in the US so maybe that makes it easier.
