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.

The one time I worked at a place with a union they won $25/hr wages. 3 months later I didn’t have a job because the place went bankrupt and I was making $0/hr
Good. If they can't afford to pay their workers fairly, they shouldn't exist.
They could, they just didn't have a CEO who wanted less pay.
What company? When was this? Or are you just peddling bullshit?

Spent about an hour genuinely researching your claims through every news and government entity I could find, including bankruptcy court docs. Couldn't find a single hit. I'm doubtful of your claims.
That’s an amazing level of effort for some random guy on the internet. I’m doubtful of your claims.
Sad trumpet, as any company that can't afford to play their works enough to have life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. They don't deserve to exist
