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.

Hard disagree: The above advice is relevant to everyone, even if you're not struggling to survive. We are all victims of capitalism, and even those of us who are living relatively comfortably under this system need to recognize that the billionaire class are the enemy of all life on Earth. It's not a good system for you just because you get the best table scraps.
If you stop caring about those who are barely scraping by just because you're not then you're a fucking idiot.
Or if you can't read it
I almost put "If you can't read this, have a friend read it to you" but it seemed a bit wordy
That's more like it. And doubly so if you can't read it.
Yes, that was indeed the point, I think.
