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.

Here in the US, our safety net has the punjis poking through it. That way we don't overburden the net by falling on it, the spikes will catch us instead. We don't really have much power to pick employers here, we really gotta pick the best paying job we can find in a really short time. Oh, and can't be switching jobs too much, since lots of employers can deny you health insurance until you've worked with them for 90 days. Isn't that such a fun system‽
