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.

[edit: looks like I read too much into the comment I was replying to - I'll leave the below for the sake of honesty, but I was unfair, and I won't defend my hostility or uncharitable read (at least in this case lol)]
If only we got more of those DNC ghouls in office they could have slowed down some of this a bit!
Couldn't be that the "other party" just absorbs every complaint, atrocity, demand for real change and delivers none. It's probably those annoying leftists who are messing up progress!
FWIW I vote as often as I can. It's not hard for me to tell who is more evil and what levers are available to me at the moment (I also don't disparage others with thoughtful reasons to do otherwise).
Your take sucks and smells like a real Reddit-ass analysis of why things are going badly.
I never said anything about voting for Democrats. You made a lot of assumptions just to come here and argue with me.
And there are no thoughtful reasons not to vote. Just excuses that try to launder laziness into righteousness.
Okay, I've read through your other comments and you're right, I misunderstood and misrepresented your POV, I apologize.
For the record, just like there is a large contingent of online "leftists" who don't do much but whine, there's an accompanying group of folks who also habitually just whine, but they whine in the ways I attacked you for doing, some flavor of "if they'd only have voted (for Harris/Clinton/etc) then we'd all be at brunch!"
But that's not what you said, and given your other comments, you probably don't like those folks either. So yeah, I saw what looked like that and had an allergic reaction lol.
Anyway, my bad, cheers.
Ty!
And yeah, I understand how I could have been misconstrued as advocating "blue-no-matter-who". So to be absolutely clear: fuck Harris, Biden, Obama, both Clintons, and all the other neoliberal asshats who helped suppress actual progressives from having power within the Dem party and in The US more broadly.
Preach!
Shut up you bigot!
If they voted for Copmala Iranian schools and hospitals could've been bombed by trans people and immigrants.
You have denied them of equal opportunities!
