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.

There are very few guarantees ever.
Not having a union guarantees having no power when the bosses stomp their boots over the faces of workers.
A union is just workers agreeing and organizing among themselves that they prefer to fight back. United we can build the power we need to make meaningful advances.
There is no reason simply to let the bosses take whatever they want just because no one tried to stop them.
