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.

Kafka was a very dark soul who saw all the misery that the everyman was suffering through the bureaucracy that they had to deal with in Prague in the early 20th century and wrote stories which were based on how he felt about it, although very fictionalized. Metamorphosis, which this is about, is about a man who turns into a beetle and, after being abandoned by everyone including his family, becomes more and more insect-like in his mind until he finally dies.
In Metamorphosis, unlike the comic, he begs his boss to let him go back to work, but to no avail because he can't communicate anymore.
