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.

Thank you for recognizing this. So many people don't get that capitalism and the wealthy ruling class are literally baked into the Constitution. The US government was created with the express purpose of preventing the masses any real say in governance.
I think you mean the wealthy have produced some good propaganda that makes people feel this way. Unless you have some good examples? The one I always think about is the great depression where a ton of people starved to death and even by WWII around a quarter of all men were rejected for service because of a decade + of malnourishment. No revolution, just a new deal from the wealthy that was eventually backpedaled because blacks.
I like you optimism here, but I don't share it nor do I think it is objectively true unfortunately.
There is no cure for a criminal act. We need a real bill of rights that directly spells out that politicians will NOT use psychology to manipulate people. Scapegoating, negging, gaslighting, etc must all be strictly banned and anyone using this rhetoric forever banished from leadership. Until then, might as well bleat really loudly for all the good it will do.
