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.

technically companies today don't have to always prioritize profit. they just have to follow the orders of the shareholders, and most for-profit investors are gonna demand that profit be maximized.
if you have a company but it's 51% city-owned then it doesn't have to maximize profit. the city can set its own goals, such as selling a certain number of items at a certain maximum price or opening up a grocery store in food deserts. public transport is typically a city-owned company, yet prioritizes availability over profit.
