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.

Weird. Here I thought having to work a full time job came at the expense of education. I have coworkers who only take once course per semester, because they literally have no time for more.
Then again, our mistake was being born into the working class. We should’ve tried being born into rich families that could provide for us during school instead.
The only solution practically available to peasants: quit being poor 🤡
There's plenty of working class families that have and continue to put their children through college. If you select with respect to cost, it is especially not hard.
That's not to say college isn't incredibly overpriced these days, but 2 year community colleges offer a great budget pathway
Ah, you sinned the original sin.
Born broke.
