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.

$35 seems way under minimum wage. If I'm sending my kid for a whole day, they gotta be paid at least $12/h.
That's not wage for the kids, that's how much it costs to send your kids to this ~~summer~~ labour camp.
Yeah I know, I guess I should have used an "/s".
Yyyep. Sadly necessary. It was impossible to tell if you misunderstood the context, were joking, didn't understand this is where America is right now, or any other thing. Sorry bud! Frustrates me, too.
