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.

My friend was the director of a daycare, and she's leaving because she works 60 hour weeks, has no help from above, and her pay is literally canceled out by sending her kids to camp over the summer. And obviously they won't pay her more. And she's the head of the daycare. It's insane.
It's because private equity capitalists took over daycares, nursing homes, funeral services, and veterinary clinics. They're leeches on even the most indispensable aspects of society.
Just based on the outrageous "strata" fees on "owned" lots for pre-fab/trailer parks (not the rental pad lots, totally different(same?) Story)
More per month just to get your (wife's, ass) grass mowed than to maintain my ancient building....
Private Equity got anywhere you could move also
