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.

Your ~~brainwashed~~ mesmerized grandparents and their lazy non-voting baby boomer children let Reagan through the door in no uncertain terms, and in that environment the 80s "hostile corporate takeover" and junk bonds fever set in; with bottomless greed as the virus, which like herpes, seems to stick around forever.
EDIT: a word
Lazy voters stayed home and let Trump in. (With a strong assist from the Democratic party.). That's not what happened with Reagan. Reagan had incredibly broad popular support. I don't know if that's more or less damning of American voters, but no amount of additional turnout would have saved Carter.
