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.

Boss: I've decided to pay you shit wages and expect you to work nightmare hours.
Union: We've all banded together and would collectively like to tell you that we prefer better wages and more reasonable hours, or else we will strike.
Boss: I've decided you can't do that, or else.
Union: Yes, or else, indeed. That's the core concept here.
Call his fuckin' bluff, or else you don't really have a union at all.
Ronald Reagan did exactly that with air traffic controllers. Fired the lot of them.
