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.

We'd be working 12 hour days 7 days a week, being paid in company scrip.
There was a lot of violence in the 19th and early 20th century just to get the scraps we have now. Capital is your enemy.
Our grandfathers and great grandfathers fought company goons in hand to hand combat in the streets, to force corporations to accept Unions, which brought us EVERY workplace benefit, and EVERY health/safety/environmental regulation, that we enjoy today. Corporations have never given up a single benefit without a fight.
We need to go back to that, and unionize EVERYTHING.
