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.

The problem in America is that more and more skilled workers are having to settle for making hamburgers because of shit like this. Good luck getting any "portfolio" shit done when you're working 2 unskilled labor jobs and still not making your monthly bills.
This also doesn't address the fact that employers give zero fucks about that stuff. Portfolios. Gimme a fucking break. It doesn't matter if you singlehandedly made an entire Linux distro, no one's going to care.
Shit like what? Are all the employers the same in your area? Are you working two dead end jobs right now?
