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.

The only way to working class to win is to hijack the capitalism itself. Workers have to create pressure on the stock prices of large corporations themselves through collective action.
eh, biggest misunderstanding the left has is that anyone actually gives a fuck about shareholders. unless you have a 10%+ stake nobody gives a fuck about you as a shareholder, they exist to hold bags. and with how the US casino is setup specifically, ultimately price action is dictated by whoever has the most $ at play (with the lowest cost average, and assuming fundementals don't assert themselves). so there's no way workers ever meaningfully effect the stock price outside of a proper strike
what workers need to do is learn the value of their labor...which is why US oligarchs have spent so much effort the last 5 decades killing public education (and before that, they designed it around growing compliant factory workers). stupid/purposefully misinformed people are easy to control
What I mean is that workers have to implement strategies where bad working conditions have definite negative effect on company valuation.
