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 to be super clear that I'm not condoning this behavior, just pointing out one single instance of how fucked up sites like Polymarket and Kalshi actually are.
There's been investigations into people doing stuff like this, and they do not get paid out. Like the guy who bet there would be a streaker at the Superbowl, and then streaked at the Superbowl.
Yeah, and I'm sure Elon makes nothing off of the daily bet on the number of times he'll tweet, too.
