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.

It's super interesting to me that "not wanting to work" is a bad thing. I talk to a lot of boomers who doesn't understand how younger people don't want to work.
Well you got brainwashed into a 40+ hour work week, and you were able to buy a house for $5000 and were able to support 4 children and a stay at home wife. A 20 year old now knows that they will never own a house and don't have time for a family because they need 2 jobs to buy something that wasn't made by slaves in a temu factory.
Lol I said this to a cashier once when she apologized for my wait (IDC tbh I saw they were busy and tempered my expectations). She said, "nobody wants to work anymore!" And I asked her, "of course they don't, nobody wants to be at a David's Bridal at 11am on a Saturday. Do YOU want to be here, working, right now??" And she was Gobsmacked lmao. I wasn't mean to her or anything. She just. Couldn't fathom it. So odd.
