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.

fyi labor day is may 1st.
It's the funniest thing that labour day is celebrated on May 1st. almost everywhere else than in USA, because the date of May 1st. was chosen because of the Haymarket Affair in USA.
It was president Cleveland who was afraid that the celebration might strengthen socialist ideas.
precisely. it’s a good day to remind folks of the day’s history.
Why would you want fewer labour days? :P
