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.

If you refuse to hire an old guy, that is a lawsuit, and socially unacceptable to say or do. But this is OK? Even if I said I didn't want to hire the 65 year old that is changing careers and learning a new field because I don't want to spend time training them when they are on the cusp of retirement, that's a lawsuit and socially unacceptable. But this is ok?
Exploiting young people is feature of the system.
People just don't like saying it out loud.
If young folk have a future how will we get them into warzones?
