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.

If living off of your assets without working is possible to you you are not working class. It's that simple.
So what's "possible"? You mean could they take a 1/50th pay cut and survive on like 30k a year from their investments? Possibly. That certainly doesn't make them "owning class" though
No what makes them owning class is because they own their means of income, they don't have to work for it.
So what about people who have some investments but also still have to work? Or whose standard of living would seriously decline if they did not work?
Those are trans owners.
