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 really noticeable, especially in the HCOL areas. People are just at their wit's end and all out of fucks to give. And it stacks, because as others care less everyone's life gets harder. Deliveries don't get delivered, food isn't made with care, entertainment is less entertaining. And it's hard to blame anyone in these roles, because I feel the same way.
It's a powderkeg and no one with the power to do something seems to have noticed, but I wonder how much worse it gets before something has to change.
Ya everything's just a little more shit now. Goin to restaurants and you're orders fucked, long lines, grocery store looks like a bomb has gone off, cant even fucking afford all the streaming nonsense now. It just goes on and on
I live in a terrible apartment that I'm happy about I guess because it's the only one available that I can even come close to affording. I'm sick of watching my friends move away
I think what makes me the most bummed is that change is not for sure. Do things get bad enough? And if they do, does that mean anything? I've lost a lot of hope in the last couple of years. COVID did a number on everything
