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.

We deserve shares when we join. Give us a slice of the pie
And yet businesses try to convince you that you're part of the family and we're all in this together. Work your ass off by coming in early and staying late all year? Good job here's a 2% raise. Nevermind that is lower than inflation and the extra work and meager raise actually lowers your hourly equivalent if you're salaried.
If businesses really want everyone to go above and beyond they need to pay people in equity. Why else would anyone give a shit about the long term success of a business? They certainly have no loyalty to their employees.
They do that if you go work in young industries. I think once the pie has been divided up and sold between rich guys 2000 times and there's no more hyper growth, there's no more pie to give out. So you have to move to models like bcorps, like a King Arthur Flour, or be evil.
Reminded me of this Office Space scene.
