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
Except that's not how they implemented it. Somehow organizing grants you EXTRA rights over being an individual. Suddenly you get an avenue to get around personal contribution limits, on top of retaining your original personal contributions allowance...
They who? Implemented what?
There never were individual limits on political speech.
There were and still are.
You, as an individual, right now, have a limit on how much money you can donate to a political campaign.
An organization is able to bypass that by spending that money directly in support of the campaign, but not directly giving it to them. Thus granting the organization's owners more political power than they had as an individual.
No; the First Amendment bars any government regulation on political speech.
There have never been individual limits on indirect political support for issues or candidates because the First Amendment bars government regulation of your political speech.
