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.

Friday?
Probably Monday, since that day has the highest suicide rate.
Who cares? If you wanna do nothing on your day off itβs none of the rest of societies fucking business. Why are we so cucked by this system man?
Hey look a boot kicker defending a garbage system. Good work!
How am I defending the system? My comment was pretty much βthis system sucksβ
