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.

Nobody gets ahead by providing free labour, that shit is a myth so slaves work "hard" and nepo babies get promoted...
OP's talking about the necessary grind, not working for free. Though that can be part of success.
20-years ago I was grinding on my computers non-stop. That got me a tech support job. Few jobs later, I'm grinding on my home lab to learn more for what I wanted to do at work. That packed my resume and I doubled my pay and benefits on the next job.
what are you basing this on? OP prompt is "free work:" Steve said "sure"
but ok (gen-x) boomer
way to bring your personal non sequitur anecdote int this tho, you really hit peak boomer here
Tbf, I am sick of Gen-X getting a pass or being ignored completely. They had great opportunities just like boomers and they are also pulling up the fucking ladder.
