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 your company doesn't pay its employees a living wage or better, then your business model sucks and should collapse.
Since anticompetitive practices and lobbying are the norm and the most profitable investments businesses can make, the whole capitalist system sucks and we should move towards socialized hamburger franchises.
all these greedy fucks balking at the idea of paying employees a living wage are short sighted fucking morons.
You know what happens when employees get better pay?
They spend more
Which means your business will see more customers, and wil earn more
That is, if your business isnt run by a myopic jackass who cant see beyond the his own personal and immediate greed. *-
Definitely, that will leave only one business model so it'll be the best business model (cause there are no others, you know).
