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.

My experience (as someone that does not fit most normal job descriptions) is that recruiters cannot understand anything beyond "square peg in a square hole" jobs. They dislike having to get to know me, understand what makes me special, and then keeping an open mind for every possible opening. I don't blame them - go for the low-hanging fruit first. But if they won't help me, then they need to say so.
