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.

This IS about residents. Diversity in population is a great thing for many countries, and larger cities in particular. Currently, most cities bring people in on work visas, which they won't be able to do under current visa laws if jobs are remote. This makes countries less diverse, and means less freedom of movement for people across the world. How would someone from the US move to Berlin if roles there are remote? Long-term, what happens to a society when all immigrants are second or third generation? Likely more right-wing abuse and more people kicking off over small amounts of migration for legal/safety reasons.
