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.

Isn't it weird that companies say they can't hire anyone, but people also can't find any jobs that are hiring?
Almost like CEOs want to hire the absolute minimum amount of people they need to and are just pretending to have openings they'll never really try to fill.
The “no one wants to work” mantra is just simply a strategy to feed into conservative talking points on a wide variety of work policy issues. It’s just simply bullshit; somewhere there’s a meme that shows people using that quote for the last century and a half in American newspapers.
I always complete that phrase for them when I hear it. "...under those conditions and for that pay."
