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.

Tropical smoothie is a perfect example here.
They use less fruit, don’t freeze the fruit. It’s mostly ice. Then they add sugar.
It’s wayyyy cheaper, but it’s just blended sugar ice with some fruit, not a real smoothie.
But then places that make real smoothies can’t make them as cheap Because they have to deal with frozen fruit Logistics and need more fruit
It’s way better, but they can’t compete with tropical smoothie
