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.

5am is not that early.
It is if your second job, which you need because your soul-crushing full-time job doesn't pay the bills, ends at midnight.
The reality of the struggle which too many people face every day can't possibly be relatable to any billionaire on this planet.
The 24 hour clock is relative. And 5am is early, relative to when you go to sleep. Also, the sun's not out. For most people, that's too early.
