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.

And? Of course it'll cost them money. They have been hoarding pay increases for years. 8f your business model doesn't support paying a decent wage, your business model sucks.
Yeah, wasn't this the whole point of capitalism or something? If you can't compete in the free market then gtfo and all that
That's what it says, but it's just marketing. Capitalists don't actually believe in fair competition. They believe in themselves having all the stuff, not anyone else, by any means necessary.
Except when big Business expect government handouts then they're okay with socialism
I'm sure most of their employees will still draw public assistance to supplement their basic needs. Fuck these companies.
