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.

You really think it would be a positive optic to see on the Evening News policeman going in the house and dragging people out and forcefully driving them to work and making them work at gunpoint?
Again, though... Optics?
Do you need a definition of the word?
A quick Google search will get you that.
Now, returning, just for a moment, to the real world...
The World is what you make of it.
No. It's not.
Yes, it is.
Listen, the system will not allow itself to collapse, instead of trying to preserve itself, simply due to a fear of outside judgment.
Usually it gets to a point where collapse doesn't ask system for permission.
The collapse is the striking workers you believe are definitely safe from ACAB.
The system is ACAB.
Get it?
Yes, usually when my partner is in the mood.
I'm not.
You're not my type.
