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.

Ahh, words are tough for you. If you can't understand one simple English sentence than it makes sense for you to not bother reading lots of words.
In the sentence "I’m sorry that someone taking the time to type out a thoughtful response is such a bother for you" the word "bother" is being used as a noun. The meaning of the sentence was that you found my long comment to be a thing that would require effort or work to read. It was a sarcastic fake apology making fun of you for being on a mainly text based social discussion platform and considering just a few paragraphs of text something that would take you too much effort for you to bother to actually read them.
For it to mean you were bothered as in annoyed, as you thought, we would be using "bother" as a verb.
Maybe take some classes? Learning is good, yo. Reading is fundamental.
