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.

@maegul @workreform I've been referring to this as "the single platform creator trap" - a creator who is trapped by their own belief that they can't control the value they bring, is stuck within one third-party online platform, and who doesn't fundamentally know how to recreate their success or take it elsewhere.
Creators who can make multiple platforms work always always always have way more control.
It's a self-imposed alienation from owning the means of production in Marxist terms.
