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.

No we literally do not.
It is pretty much impossible to afford a studio apartment almost anywhere in the country with a full time, min wage job.
Our guidelines for what counts as poverty are a total joke.
I live off of about 24k a year while I am recovering from a bunch of injuries, and most states do not consider that poor enough to qualify for pretty much any assistance.
We also just gutted Section 8, so basically about 5 to 10 million people are gonna become homeless by the end of the year.
