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.

Not just union jobs, but traditionally union industries like auto workers as well. I have a friend that works in a factory in the US south. Not union, but the pay and benefits are close to keep UAW from gaining a foothold. He would complain about them handing out flyers in front of the plant every so often.
After a recent incident that had him sweating bullets over potentially losing his job for something minor (and having to face management and HR alone), I told him to take the leaflet next time. I hope he does.
