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.

That's an excessively pedantic way to put it. That's kind of like saying a heater doesn't warm you, it warms the air, which warms you.
That is fair, but I don't like the saying that money can't buy happiness.
It absolutely can, in a roundabout way
Oh, my point was the relationship is so close you might as well not make the distinction. Money does buy happiness, simple as that. Just as I would simply say that the heater warms me up.
