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.

Didn’t Trump get famous for “firing” people on TV?
He also is notorious for skipping the bill on as much as he possibly can. A real charmer.
I was literally coming to the comments to say something similar. He's the "You're Fired!" guy how could anyone be surprised by this? He criticized the Biden administration for not firing people...
He likes firing people, but can't seem to do it face-to-face it seems: https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/28/politics/donald-trump-firing-twitter/index.html
Nobody is surprised by this. The Harris campaign is aware of and is reminding people of this exact fact. It's part of why the ad is compelling. Seems smart and effective to me. It's made everyone stop to talk about how Trump is famous for firing people.
