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.

"Morbidly" doesn't work in this context
Why not?
Other than the fifth definition here, these all seem reasonable to me.
The second one doesn't really fit either I'd argue. Edit: good downvotes. It's literally a medical definition. Smartasses.
I'd day the disease one is the best fit.
Here's another for your troubles
Oh no! Anyway..
Gave you an upvote.
It is morbid for society. This is completely unsustainable.
Sure it does.
Wealth can be considered a disease. If you really want to get pissed off, Google "affluenza"
