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.

Isn't fewer the better choice in formal English because years is a countable plural noun?
It's not. You can count years, but years are a unit of time and you can't count time. Same thing with kilos or meters or liters or a bunch of other things.
It's not a super strict rule that you can apply blindly anyway. Money is very much countable but it's "less".
it is
wtf lmfao
I have less money, because I have fewer dollars. I have less time to live than them, because I have fewer years left.
