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.

If they don't have the money, they borrow it against the collateral of the business. It's the same way everything in business is funded to start. Get the contract signed, take a loan to buy the materials, build the thing, get paid, and pay back the loan. In this case, they pay back the loan by not paying the workers more, not giving raises for a few years or whatever, and not hiring new employees for a while.
