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.

This post is about Chuck's role as Senate leader specifically, not as a senator. When the new congress is in season next year, he intends to continue to be the chief spokesperson of the Democratic party.
Not useless per se, but the position is elected by the other senators within the party, not by the people. So if you don't want him representing the Democratic party to the White House and the Senate, you should start calling your representatives and complaining now.
That might be a sound argument if instead of attacking Schumer it was promoting literally anybody else who might run for the position.
