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.

That sounds like a horrible Kafkaesque nightmare. I fear my country is heading in the same direction. I'm saddened that it got so bad in the US, and that the "obvious steps in the right direction" were simply voted against. I'm reminded of the Community episode where they explore the alternative realities. We're in the "Bernie lost to HIllary" one. Before that happened, I told a friend "Well... if Bernie loses, it's all going to shit". Sucks to have been right, although it started some time ago with Reagan gutting the middle class.
We either figure out how to redistribute wealth in the society in the next 30 years, or... "going to shit" will be the least of our problems.
