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.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but at least in this particular socioeconomic system, it buys essential resources for survival, which allows you to fulfill the lower tiers of Maslow's Pyramid and therefore allows you to pursue the things that actually grant you happiness. You can indeed have money and still not be happy, but at the same time, the vast majority of people who do not have enough money are not happy.
