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.

You better block a lot more than Lemmy. The workforce is sick of executive boots stomping on our necks. There are good employers out there, I acknowledge that, but they're the exception not the rule from the way corporate America functions. To me they seem as rare as drops of water in the Sahara. Until employers start giving some dignity back to the worker en masse, expect things to get a lot more hostile.
For now it's just nasty language, soon it's going to be molotovs and worse. Eat the rich.
You're in dire need of a xanax. Blocking you and this awful place, what a bunch of lunatics, goddamn.
Lol, tell the UAW strikers they all just need a xanax. It's nothing to be upset about, just their livelihoods and futures are at stake. If only we had xanax back in 1937, or after the Pinkertons shot and killed people for picketing.
Where's the block button again? Oh there it is.
