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.

Idk about you guys, but I'm sick of every single business in the country asking for tips now. It's the employer's responsibility to pay wages, not ours. If she's leaning harder into tips, then tips we pay should be considered non-taxable expenditures, since we're obviously paying employee wages. The employer doesn't pay income tax on the wages they pay, so why should we?
