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.

Although Henry Ford was a fucking Nazi, he had a lot of good common sense business and economic points. He made sure all of his employees could easily afford the cars they were building and it made an empire.
How did we get to this point where a large portion of the country somehow believes workers shouldn't be able to afford to buy anything?
Fordism.
That is actually easy: They don’t think about the economy as a whole. They only look what might suit them best in this exact moment to increase „shareholder value“ for a short moment.

Here lies the contradiction of Capitalism.
