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.

Okay, but the point is - more bro.
You can argue til you're blue in the face and you're not wrong but it's besides the point, until they actually fucking agree to move the posts in the right direction.
Then work out all the details you want homie.
And my point is that without even being able to say how much more, not only do you know when you've reached the goal, but to opponents you come off as greedy and entitled with "I don't know, just gimme more bro".
That shit is just not going to work, ever.
You misunderstand the entire basis of the argument. A finely tuned plan is great and there are people to figure that out - but that's rolling the ball along, shaping and tuning it as it goes.
You can't do that, when there are giant chains on the ball preventing it from moving.
Cut the chains, then we'll talk.
I've said my piece, you said yours, I'm sure you'll disagree so agree to disagree. Good day
