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.

We want Zohran Mamdani to succeed based on merit and real results, not promotoinal messaging.
Zohran Mamdani’s housing claims don’t show anything new. Forcing landlords to fix violations is standard enforcement under existing housing codes in NYC, Baltimore, DC, etc. That’s baseline gov work, not innovation.
The numbers sound big, but there’s no context. Over what time period? Compared to what baseline? Without that, it reads more like a press releaase than a real policy win.
Also, this is coming from a PAC aligned acct, so of course it’s framed to look strong. That doesn’t make it false, but it does mean it’s selecctive.
Bottom line: this looks like routine code enforcement being repackaged as something special.
2nd bottom line: come on Zohran do something meaningful, we're counting on you.
