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.

Except that everyone HATES working for capitalism, whether they realize it or not, and we all ABSOLUTELY need a job for reasons like survival.
I'd much rather spend my time working hard for something where I actually get to keep the value of my labors. As it is now I create millions of worth for the capitalists to extract (steal) from me and I get enough to not die. Neat... Who the hell wants this? Why do so many people keep defending capitalism when everyone is getting scammed and 99% of their profit stolen from them and funnelled up the pyramid scheme to a shareholder.
Nah. There is a difference between content of the work and how its value is used. Do I think some bastards well deserve to die and society has been crazy for ages now? Yeah. Do I hate doing my job for it? No
