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.

You sound new here.
So, how does this apply bakc in time a bit, like in the 1940s? There were massive movements, like in Germany, and obviously Russia before, to kick it off. How did they accrue members and grow?
Small presses?? And just to clarify, not being snarky or anything, I just want to check what I know and what I assume, here.
The media owns a lot of news media. Curiously, some platforms still allow independent media to leak though.
Hence, we know what the 2014 Ferguson Unrest looked like, or the 2020 George Floyd protests, or the current crisis in Gaza.
They're trying to stop the signal, obfuscate it in disinformation and slop, but they haven't stopped the whole signal yet.
It's an elder meme at this point. It's the second frame. The first one shows the unarmed astronaut looking at the earth and saying something like " it's all just ..."
This image is precisely the first thing that came to my mind when I saw "now".
