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.

It's understandable republicans ignore the obvious cause, that's what they do, just deny reality.
But it really fucking sucks Dem leadership does the same thing. There's Bernie, AOC, a handfull of other progressives that will openly say this is the problem, but a "moderate" won't say they're the problem.
We need to take the party back to where it was 80 years ago when FDR pushed to limit pay to fight wealth inequality.
Moderates stopped him back then just like they did for universal healthcare tho. So 80+ years later we're still fighting for it.
