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.

Yes, that's the reality. But if they actually operated the way people have been led to believe they do, then they would be as much of a labor force as the fire department.
We should talk about getting the police to actually being the fairy tale people think it is first, though.
That is impossible. If they didn't do violence to citizens of a state on behalf of the state, then they are not police. They would be something else. A "citizen service league" or something.
