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 can live without any new Universal Studios movies.
I have friend who will acquire their goods on the high seas. Yearrrrrgh!
I have some reservations about pirating movies because of the impact it can have on people who work on the movies.
I would give absolutely zero fucks about pirating AI generated content, no matter how many "prompt engineers" or whatever they had working on it.
Just send everyone in the credits a dollar. Its way more than they would make from your purchase royalties.
It’s not just royalties, it’s the success of the industry in general. If those evil studios go out of business, it will eliminate a lot of jobs, if a movie flops, there’s no sequel, etc. The fact that the creatives make much less than the suits is lame, but it doesn’t change that basic framework.
But if the studios are already eliminating those jobs, then them going under is only a problem for shareholders.
