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.

In Finland: Pension payments are at all time high: 24.4% of my salary. It feels like a robbery.
@PM_ME_FLUFFY_SHIBES Sorry, to confirm, are you happy pensions are at 24.4% of your salary or mad?
@seeCseas
Mad.
So the increase is because of inflation right? Raising rates for workers so pensioners get a cost of living adjustment?
The alternative would be, what I can only imagine to be, dubious taxation.
It's because there are less (future) taxpayers than there are pensioners so we have to pay more.
