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.

I assumed you had a different job that has had wages stagnant as well. Am I wrong?
My specific situation is not important beyond the fact that I'm a guy so I am statistically going to work more hours and to devote more of my life to work as well as choosing my career based on income rather than any sort of life satisfaction than the average woman.
I'm not familiar with these statistics?
But it still wouldn't matter because the compensation is still per hour, so you work more you make more. Women want the same compensation per hour, not more compensation for the same amount of work.
Your anger is exactly what women feel. Why do men get more for the same amount of work?
They don't. When you control for career choice and hours worked the pay gap disappears.
