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.

Here in the US they pretty much all do. And yes, 100% of labor should be unionized.
Yup. And while police unions are awful it's a call to fix how police unions are formed and supported rather than deunionizing the police entirely.
The saying is a bad apple spoils the bunch and there are a fuckton of bad apples in the police.
Yes, that's the reality. But if they actually operated the way people have been led to believe they do, then they would be as much of a labor force as the fire department.
We should talk about getting the police to actually being the fairy tale people think it is first, though.
Yeah, treat other working stiffs as the enemy, that'll help.
Change hiring practices, change training, police can be a benefit.
And policing isn’t labor. So police unions should not exist.
I think it would be considered non-productive labor in the Marxist sense.
Oh they're capital are they? I didn't know they were ownership class.
They protect the ownership class FROM labor.
