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.

Additionally there is some merit that money can’t buy your attitude and therefore happiness in life in general. (Assuming we could define healthy relationships as happiness) You can see people with very little still have flourishing relationships with those around them that a rich people will struggle with.
There’s always the consideration that without money you can be assured the people who are your friend are legitimately there for who you are. They say it’s lonely at the top and I believe that means that those who know you have money and trying to be your friend there’s always going to be question about legitimacy.
