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.

The problem is, the wealthy and corporations will always conspire to get an upper hand, so the movement of wealth from the bottom to the top will always accelerate.
It really starts going when business interests capture regulatory bodies, or legislators, so that they can change laws to benefit the very wealthy and giant conglomerate corporations (and shield them from small businesses that have to innovate positively to compete.)
Then when everything's deregulated, they go full anti-competitive, create monopolies, enshittify and engage in financialization, using money shenanigans like stock buybacks and private equity which is super profitable but doesn't produce anything, often leaving sinkholes in the economy like the empty, abandoned Toys R Us stores.
And then, civilization collapses, and the owner class and political class are totally surprised because they believed their own master race rhetoric.
