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.

I am now, but 20 years ago I wasn't and I still had my yearly performance review and talked to my boss about raises.
most folks don't have as blessed a career path as yours is.
most people get nothing until they move companies.
It's not about getting a raise, it's about asking for it.
Anecdotally, my biggest raises were also switching jobs, but that's not the point i (or the meme) was making.
