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.

MODERATORS
This is my point. The submission is about this important recognition being a conspiracy to keep us down. I think that's silly.
Well that's where we disagree then
So you think claiming that these terms were made up by the owning class in order to divide the working class is not a conspiracy theory? What is it then?
An ideology which serves the owners and is propagated by they and us, for reasons both cynical and genuine. But ultimately, I believe, serves the owners best.
Blatantly dodging the question
I'll speak more plainly. No, It's not a conspiracy, it's an ideology
Oh, I see now. Can a conspiracy theory be an ideology then? Like I could agree that it's both an ideology (a weird one, how it serves the owning class, I have no idea) and a conspiracy theory. But I still don't see how it isn't a conspiracy theory.
