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.

MODERATORS
Firefox is developed in the open and accepts outside contributions already. The only thing this is adding is a paid membership.
A paid membership to vote on changes and additions to the program. I think that would be pretty beneficial honestly.
So instead of a free vote you only get a paid vote?
Is there a free vote now? Have I somehow missed this?
Sure but those contributors don’t have a functional role in managing the project. This idea seems clearly distinct from the status quo.
They do? in fact they dictate almost the entire project, that's how open source works
Don't need a co-op for that. Just fork it and make the changes.
True, you can. But for people who may not have the skill or time but still value the browser, I think it isn't a bad idea. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Then pay someone who does have the time and skill to fork it and make the change you want.
