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.

As much as watching everything literally burn would be exceptionally cathartic, it wouldn't be useful. If you ask me, these CEOs and rich bastards can work X hours a week scrubbing toilets or otherwise contributing to society.
If you refuse to contribute to society cause you were rich and think you're hot shit, then jail. Something like the minimum security prison in Norway where the point is rehabilitation. If you've committed war crimes or premeditated murder or otherwise genuinely can't be offered even that much freedom, then real prison, but still a decent real prison.
Putin and his ilk are a different matter. What was good enough for Mussolini would be just as good for them.
