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.

But if you live in the USA your taxes go to subsidize the wages of their employees through Medicaid and SNAP. We need to do more than boycott but most of us are too tired and broke to do even that much. Good job on doing what you can
Exactly, if the owners paid enough wages then people would make too much to qualify for the public assistance and would be happier and healthier. That's what controlling systems don't want, gotta keep the majority in scarcity mode so they keep making bad choices from stressed brain, can't use prefrontal cortex as much which critical thinking requires.
Edit: higher wages also increases the tax base to help pay for all the things we should have, like all the other rich countries have figured out how to do.
Thankfully, I am Canadian. For life! :D
