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.

Nobody deserves poverty, and nobody doing something that is necessary should be being paid so low that they can't afford to live.
I often hear stories about teachers in financial trouble. It's just completely mind-boggling that teachers in some places are unable to pay rent due to low pay, high rent and lack of school funding making them feel like they must buy their own supplies. I thought school teacher was a respected profession, and it's certainly necessary.
