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.

Don't forget, when people have time and a little extra energy they will do things like vote, volunteer, develop themselves, improve their health, maybe run for office.
These are all counter to the strategy to run everyone ragged, keep them on the treadmill producing and consuming until they drop. People who are exhausted won't fight back.
It's amazing how even a 3 day weekend makes me more creative and energetic, and start thinking of my community and volunteering, then work comes back and i only look forward to the 5 hours before sleep again.
