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 not a "job" if you are working for no compensation. That's slavery, my guy.
But they definitely already know that.
Even slaves got food and shelter.
That's because they were "assets"! Now people are disposable– trash to be dumped when better bodies come to replace them.
We need better laws to protect workers in the US.
We trust you'll be a great asset to the company.
People are treated like things under capitalism. The workers are de facto responsible for using up inputs to produce outputs, but capitalism grants the employer sole legal responsibility for the positive and negative results of production. This violates the basic principle of justice that legal and de facto responsibility should match. Satisfying this principle can only be done in a worker coops. Therefore, all firms must be mandated to be worker coops
There's a basket with fresh fruit right there in the break room!
