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.

I agree with that. I believe the plan was that he will be relatively alive for long enough to win an election and then step down later allowing Harris to actually fill the role. I understand the logic behind it, he's the "safe" candidate, incumbent always has an advantage, and they correctly identified the issue of running woman of colour as a democratic candidate, American voters are, for some reason, aren't as cool with that as they should be by now.
In the end I agree that they should've predicted his health problems earlier, but we know that on hindsight.
