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 think basically stop denonising unions. I've been hesitant to join mine, as I don't want to be seen as a trouble maker. Funnily I've already received my 'last promotion' at 56. I could shit on the marble floor and not get sacked (because vital skills). However, simply displaying solidarity with my younger colleagues would be deemed 'offensive'. Two more years and nearing retirement, I think I'll let rip
Yeah.. most people in my country don't have a union available, and there are no prospects for creating one in the near future. I don't mean any offense myself, but just having access to a union and not joining it is... an interesting choice from my perspective.
