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.

Those are not the people they're talking about. The article is about people with good paying jobs taking more than one. They're gaming the system and I'm all for it.
I think it's selfish. How many of those jobs could have gone to someone who actually needs one? It's essentially job hoarding. If you're that much of a productive genius, why don't you (the people with multiple well-paying jobs, not you personally) volunteer or start your own business and do something to actually improve the world instead of just hoarding wealth.
I don't think you understand how many well paying jobs go vacant because they "haven't found the right person" and other bullshit.
Just as likely the jobs went vacant if he wasn't hired.
Job hoarding? Lmao
