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.

The average rent in LA for a THREE bedroom apartment is $51,000 a year total. That leaves, after taxes, about $40,000 of money for everything else. Even in L.A that's still very easy to live on.
A 1 bedroom apartment in LA is about $26,000 a year, fyi.
A $131,000/year salary is not borderline anything in L.A.
