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.

I cannot think like a black man or woman, I cannot experience discrimination and hate directed at LGBTQ+ people, I will never understand what it feels like to be a woman sitting in a room with multiple male managers doing a performance review.
While I agree best person for the job, these perspectives I cannot possible put myself into are part of that best person. So maybe they cant screw a nut as fast, they can help me understand why we need to do it this way from their perspective, which is a perspective I dont have without them.
