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 where do you draw the line? If it's a literal orphan-crushing-company? It's in your power to not procreate and not to work at evil companies. The consequences are sadly also yours alone, that's right.
Most companies don't make their harms so obvious.
No? Microsoft, x, meta, apple, every "ai"-company, every "modern" car-company, big oil, Samsung and the others, ....
Wouldn't work there, even if I had to.
Anectodally, once, when I still worked sometimes, I had the main-admin job at a very major nonprofit that aims to cure (some disease). Quit after a month of seeing how this monster worked. It was made to amass billions, the cellar was full of old people's precious inheritance that was talked outta them by a whole floor of lawyers. And 0.2% actually went into curing the thing. While the ceos went home with 6figures starting with a 3, Audi r8s and unlimited budget for "business meetings".
Noone cared. Noone. I was shocked by the ignorance.
