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.

Fascinating idea. One suggestion though:
When selecting your "coup team" avoid immigrants and people with families. Back when I was young, single, and living in my home country, I could have been convinced to go along with something like this, but now I'm living abroad with a wife & kid. The risk is sufficiently high that I might be compelled to snitch for fear that I might be deported or jailed.
You want ambitious, charismatic, high-skill, and risk-friendly people for this kind of job.
I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines though.
