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 just said something along these lines in a different comment, but ... I have been both a barista (1 week of training-ish) and a physical therapist (4 year bachelor's and 3 year clinical doctorate). At times, I really enjoyed both. However, doing either full time either bored me or burned me out. I would love to swip-swap between those positions (and others) just because I could because my ability to stay in my home would not be dependent on having a "high skill" job.
