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.

For us here, no. It's just a social welfare-state.
But still, even if I would have to struggle, I wouldn't sell my soul for some bucks to an evil company. Probably prefer stealing or whatever over that. And if the state pisses on me and also all companies I could work at were evil, I'd emigrate. There's a reason we drown in migrants...
Talk is cheap. You very obviously have never been in that position yet here you are, preaching. Lucky you.
As said, our state covers hardship. So even if I were in deep shit, I wouldn't starve and had a roof over my head.
Yet it would have to be real shit for me to throw away my morals for some bucks. As said, threw away a great job with not much work and tons of benefits just for that.
