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.

Yeah! Voting is difficult so people have lots of excuses to not bother!
Apathy is the biggest factor in disenfranchisement, much as we'd all like to blame "the establishment" for lack of participation.
Disenfranchisement is public policy, so people are prohibited from casting their votes.
And Lemmy users are voluntarily consenting to become disenfranchised. They're doing the billionaires' work for them.
They're voluntarily agreeing to stay home on election day, let Trump win, and kill the Palestinian protest movement by giving people new problems to worry about.
If it weren't for these non voters, Kamala would have won and we'd currently be forcing her to divest from Israel. But instead we have Trump bombing Iran on Netanyahu's orders and we have to do No Kings instead of No Israel. We're stretched too thin because of these guys.
That's just victim blaming.
I love blaming victims who lick boot
The boot licking is coming from inside the liberal tent. That's why we ended up with a liberal majority voting for more ICE agents and fewer IRS agents.
You are reversing the timeline. Most politicians betrayed them so they no longer care and bother to vote. I am person who votes
