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.

reminds me of the time when an artist, protesting defending architecture, created a public park bench with spikes that would retract for a little while if you inserted money in - a commentary on intentionally not allowing the homeless places to sleep comfortably.
then people came along and were like “that’s amazing, can you install them in my park?”.
someone would look at this and go “i see an opportunity to use this on someone! if they’re stuck here turning crank and they can’t afford to stop…adverts, paid promotions…etc”
Oh no, not a Pay to Win x HostileArchitecure collaboration!!
This is giving me peak ABoringDystopia vibes...
I didn't know about that. That's just horrible.
I loathe how much you're right about this.
