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.

if don't work then:
of those that are not rich, and not working, there are some that cant work, or cant find work, and don't want to work. the first two groups seem to get ignored and the last one gets all the negative publicity
I don't even get the folks wanting people who don't want to work working. Have you ever worked with folks that don't want to work. I would rather they be sitting on the couch getting high. basic income all the way.
That is true. I have never been judged for being lazy as fuck, despite having not worked a single minute in the last >20yrs (not paid, only voluntary "work").
Poor people I know get judged for that all the time, constantly. Even though most of them couldn't even work, even if they wanted to. Due to traumata or more visible disabilities. And they also get judged by the rich AND poor alike. The rich managed to portray these as the scapegoats for why everything sucks. Disgusting.
