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.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t struggled for a minute in their entire life. Well done.
Why? You don't have a job, you get social security. Search for a new job all in peace and quiet. If not this month, then next. Or next year. It's most likely not awesome nor drowning you in great riches, but you won't starve and have a home. That's what a society is, or at least should aspire to be. Help others.
Unless, as said, some third-world without any social net, then I'm sorry man, it probably sucks and your hate is maybe best directed at those who put you in such a miserable position.
What are you even talking about? In most countries, pretty much nobody can afford to go a full year without a job.
Good for you if you could do so, but shitting on people because they refuse to end up homeless to abide to your moral standards is detestable.
As said, exclude third-world, they have it all bad, not just the social net.
Every so called first-world has at least some kind of social net. Unless you count the USA in, that's a country of slaves and billionaires.
I find it a bit weird that you find it detestable if I had moral reservations about working at e.g. google or some other devil. That's what morals are, you usually don't sell them out for 1000 moneyz a month. Or else they were just nice-to-have-if-everything-else-is-sated. So basically a luxury and ultimately useless.
Spain is a third world country now? You are living in an alternate reality.
But again, you absolutely sound like someone who hasn’t struggled in their life. Maybe you need to go hungry to develop some empathy and understanding.
If Spain shits on the jobless, then it seems like a "yes"?
And dude, you shouldn't have to struggle... That's the whole point. If one has to struggle existing without a job then the system's broken and morality probably comes second. Sad world.
And if I had struggled in life, my expertise suddenly would count?
I agree, nobody should struggle, but many do, so your take is essentially wishful thinking all around.
