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.

MODERATORS
Reading this makes it sound like even in places with decent labor laws, it's not enough because this highly organized conspiracy of deep surveillance, purposeful emotional manipulation, and the implied threat of withdrawing business entirely from an area rather than negotiate with a union is very effective regardless, without necessarily breaking the law.
To repourse a quote. If you have a national business you need a national union.
The rest I feel like needs more people to freak out about how deeply sinister and unsettling those practices are, but maybe there are better routes.
