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.

Lower class aren't working because they can't. That's why they're lower class. Also, you're wrong because NOW the middle class of working are the lower class being underpaid.
The truth & problem is that the upper class aren't working regardless if they "have jobs" or not.

You’re both wrong. The lower class largely is working. More than ever, actually. It’s he system that’s broken, not the people in the lower classes.
You missed half my post.
No, I read it. You’re mostly right, just that first sentence makes it sound like lower class = can’t work.
That assumption leads to the observation that you didn't read the following point.
