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.

Sure give everybody a 100k salary as the minimum wage. All companies can afford that, right?
I'll quit my fuckin' job and go do the most bullshit easy job there is for 100k all day. No need for special skills anymore, just do some basic shit.
If $50 is too much, give us a counter offer. What do you think? $35?
Right‽ The fight for 15 is like 20 fucking years old now and we're still not actually there!
Might as well go for 50 at this rate since it'll take fucking forever before we get anywhere
I like this because it's yanking the overton window just a hair leftward so we might start having actual conversations about it.
