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.

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.
