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.

Mutual aid is different from charity. Have they been trying to support you in the ways that they are able?
We live thousands of miles from each other.
I won't dispute that, but this is someone I knew in real life, not just an Internet acquaintance.
I can't fully discount the possibility they're deceiving me, but it would be out of character for them to do so.
This is charity, and is ok as long as you process it as such.
It's not really a mutual situation.
