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.

Here's what they could do, start a "coffee club", set up a stall right nearby Starbucks. Then campaign against them while providing caffeine at-cost (potentially even paying someone to sell this dirt-cheap alternative to Starbucks at all the same hours they're open).
Sure it's not the same (being from Australia, it boggles the mind how Americans even like Starbucks), but you'll be offering an alternative to people who just want a caffeine fix and are open to being pursuaded into boycotting Starbucks.
Obviously, would only work if student association rules at the university allow you to set up food stalls.
