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.

Your argument is 'the Black woman who owns her own corner shop is as bad as elon musk'?
I appreciate that you have voiced this opinion in opposition to mine. Thank you.
Yes, anyone exploiting the labor of others or seeking economic rents is a bad lesson and part of the capitalist machine.
I appreciate that you've made it very clear you're not actually opposed to the exploitation of labor you just want the pillaged wealth distributed a little more evenly among the pillagers.
No honey, I just think that with limited resources, we should focus on the mass murders before the people slapping others in the face.
I don't hold the view you're trying to pin on me, nor did I "make it very clear", but your adoption of my framing as your own is very flattering.
