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.

I spent a lot of time around gangs and they're not super keen on property rights. infact most of the organizing bodys you mentioned are not... How would the rich people hire militias, what resources are they exchanging for the services. None of this works without a currency, the default state is bartering, exchanging goods and services, we just let a piece of paper represent the value. What value do "rich people" hold without currency? What property rights do they have if they cannot present value to have them protected. Your gonna give me some food and gold to protect your property? what if i just take it and the food and the gold? The power is all in the currency.
