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.

Yes. That is their job. That's what profit driven means. There's no such thing as an unregulated market. Either the government does it, or the market leader regulates the market to kill competition and maximise profit.
This is incomplete. They maximize profit now. They will always kill the goose that lays golden eggs, they will skin the sheep instead of shearing it, they will destroy a market for the sake of more profits this quarter, and they will be surprised when revolution occurs.
I sure hope you mean this to say the "market" is bad, actually.
