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.

I've lost all trust in employers. From large corporations to non-profits to mom and pop to tech startups- I've been in it all and I learned businesses do 2 things to their employees:
I'm now freelance musician and teacher and I'm on track to make more than any employer paid me. I'm still in debt after having the rug pulled from under me from my last job, but I'm digging my way out on my own. I will never let one person be in control of my income ever again.
This might be the most passive aggressive comment I've ever read.
The answer of course would be "not working for someone else."
