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.

But that's not true at all. We decriminalised sex work in 2022 here in Victoria, Australia, and as part of that extended all protections and benefits workers enjoy to sex workers as well.
Edit: This includes things like superannuation (our pensions system) and maternity leave.

Yeah the person that described it as such probably wasn't thinking much farther than Europe
To be honest, not many Europeans do
Superannuation is such a cooler name than pension
