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.

Minimum amount that can be paid to support a decent quality of living.
Single parents with children.
Ability to have both a bedroom and an office space, for remote work that requires dedicated space. (Not even anything fancy, some call center or support line jobs.)
Like, I understand the thought of "why should minimum wage afford luxuries!?", but that isn't what is being implied here, and yes, minimum wage should afford some luxuries anyway.
