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.

Or we could raise taxes on the rich and do the infrastructure rebuild that's been needed for decades.
There's a decade's worth of blue collar pick and shovel work needed.
Not to mention working on saving the oceans, cleaning up all the PFAS, reducing the impact of global warming, all this stuff. There is an absolute shitload of work that needs to be done that needs a massive amount of effort and manpower. This idea "well how are we going to create jobs when AI can do everything and we have enough web marketers I guess" is looking at the working world through the entirely wrong lens.
Wait. A new deal you say? To get us out of our ~~great depression~~ stagflation?
If only we knew how that turned out historically. 🤔
According to folks on the Right, the New Deal's spending actually prolonged the Depression. It was only much vaster government spending for WW2 that ended the Depression.
