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.

$105411, a household income in the top 10th percentile globally, isn’t enough to afford minimal quality of life?
edit:
Why would you take an average out of the subset of the lowest 60% and make a statement about that entire 60% not being able to reach MQL, that’s some goofy math.
A lot of labor activists and socialists have some actually unhinged, unsustainable, and downright incredibly privileged ideas of what every single house hold in a country should have/be able to afford, from what I've noticed. Which can sometimes shoot in the foot of being able to actually reach more reasonable targets
