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.

When it comes out that he’s dead but they waited long enough that there is no time for a special election, they should just have the special election anyway, because he was away from his duties before the deadline.
It’s procedural fuckery to get what you want. he would’ve loved it.
No. Kentucky's governor should just immediately appoint a replacement, because the law requiring a special election was already unconstitutional (according to KY's state constitution) to begin with. Which is also, by the way, probably why they're continuing to conceal his death even after the fake 'deadline' has passed.
At this point they will keep covering up his death until Jan 21st.
I dare they make him immortal, since legal death just turns out to be so hilariously circumventable.
AI Mitch will agree with everything the president says!
Part of the reason for the deadline is so the special election could be held properly with sufficient time to staff and run it how you're supposed to.
Regardless of this fucking chicanery nobody should be pushing to give them excuses to water down election integrity or change established rules on the fly. He can be ousted in the midterms.
