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.

That's why they use the stocks as collateral for a loan.
Exactly. The second we tried to liquidate him, none of that money would exist.
and yet he still has the reach and power he does, with ephemeral shit like stocks. as if they’re … just like dollars. it doesn’t matter what kind of asset it is, these billionaires need to go.
But by removing there stocks, you wouldn't remove their influence, they still know the same people and hang around the same people.
By liquidating his stocks, you would get no money as it would crash the markets, but he would still be CEO, and asking for a different compensation package.
I really don't see what we would gain from it
Then we try liquifying instead?
And getting what exactly, the money doesn't exist
