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.

You don't see a tie between the two?
Also curious why you replied twice with the same statement?
Another commenter here: the double reply thing was likely an app bugging on sending a reply.
Increasing minimum wages greatly increases inflation. Over paid CEO's exponentially increases inflation.
Addressing actual issues will solve problems.
Increasing minimum's will always end up hurting the poorest as when minimums go up so do the costs of everything.
Take a bike made in China vs a bike made in America. They will be about the same quality yet the American one WILL be 2x more because they are paying a lot more per worker.
Yes I know there are more nuances but in general how shot works. If you are no longer paying a CEO the wage of 10-50 workers that money can be now used to drive down the price of your products or pay your workers a proper wage
