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 really can't parse what they mean by "non-democratic socialists aligned with the Democratic Party." Juche supporters? Those younger than 45 who aren't democratic socialists? What does the percentage have to do with age? Compared to what percentage for those older? Based on how I'm reading it, it's saying that they skew younger but it's hard to tell how much without knowing what percentage of total members are under 45. But it's still quite broad based and not a youth or white movement based on those numbers.
I take it to mean Democrats who are not Democratic Socialists, but it's an odd way of saying it.
Maybe they are including people who aren't registered as Democrats but tend to vote for them?
Wisconsin doesn't have party registration at all and hasn't for a while (though it did when I first registered, and it cant be undone or changed now, leading to the appearance that we just have a huge population of independent voters (about 1/3 at this point), and no other changes in the last 20-ish years.. so if it only includes people who are registered, it misses a lot of important data. Idk about other states, I think there’s at least one other that doesn’t do party registration, but a lot of people opt to be independent if given the opportunity because they lean left and dems kinda don’t.
So I think that interpretation is probably accurate.
Oh yeah, the juche thing is just a joke, but it feels like someone lazily added crosstabs without thinking about what they meant.
