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.

love the UPS and healthcare workers stuff...but...fast food? I'd like to see every fast food place go out of business. Celebrating a bit higher wages from mega-corp fast food places seems a bit...odd, considering fast food is a cancer on society. although i guess if paying the higher wages squeezes them more, i'm all for it. But seriously...who in their right mind even goes to fast food places these days? it's basically setting fire to your own money and health.
You can want fast food to go out of business while also wishing the workers there a very happy pay raise until then.
