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.

Have you considered getting a hobby that involves leaving your couch and interacting with people? Sounds like your life is unfulfilling because you couldn't be arsed to improve it. No fairy is going to spawn in your house and make your life better for you, go do it.
If you'll notice, I used past tense. I have made a number of changes to my life over the past several years. One of the first things I did was quit my job. My life now isn't perfect, but it is improved. I drink less and I don't smoke pot any more. I also don't eat out hardly at all. I learned to cook and now I prepare nearly all of my own meals. I don't know that I'd say I'm happy, but I'm certainly less miserable.
