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.

There Is No Alternative. Tina.
Speaking of people who get exploited for inadequate pay ...
This is what I was picturing the whole time
I have a special love for that episode where they’re made to clean the beach, and Louise learns about negotiating compensation for their labor. (And that rich people will use you and fuck you over in a heartbeat.)
For anyone unfamiliar, it’s Season 12, episode 6. “Beach, Please.”
Conversely, I despise the film which tells the moral tale of “if you’re rich enough you can murder people and get away with it.”
