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.

I don't have to take any wing at they're word. I just have to look at their votes. Lieberman is the ire of your disdain. They needed 60 votes. They "only" had 59.
It's always hilarious watching the supporters of the wing that killed the public option pretending that Lieberman was the only one.
Bdn Nelson also blocked the public option so people could go bankrupt and die to pad donors' wallets.
And let's not pretend that Lieberman wasn't democrats' VP candidate in 2000.
If he was a candidate, I guess nobody gave a shit. And when the fuck did I say that I support any wing of the Democratic party. I'm just reminding you of facts. They had 59 votes at their height. That's a fact.
And if they didn't like people going bankrupt and dying to support the insurance industry, they could have changed the senate rules with only 50.
Since democrats always intended to kill the public option, they didn't. And you'll make excuses for them forever.
The people made it clear that they wanted a public option when they preferred Obama over Clinton. The shit wing of the party that you make excuses for killed it.
I'm not making excuses for anyone in telling what happened.
