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 would argue that pure capitalism produces a toxic profit - one that doesn't help humanity, be it the short or long term. Kings of centuries past may have been wealthy compared to their peasants, but the ordinary people of today have many more options for finding joy in life.
Our billionaires are preventing us from developing a society that would enrich every single person - including themselves.
