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.

Not to mention, you aren't as aware of down time when you're there in person. You're at the office, so most tasks you do still feel like work. If you're a knowledge worker you might spend 4 hours getting actual work done, and you can see that way more easily at home. I think that's why people have been more productive, because they think they're falling behind when they really aren't.
Plus, being in a familiar environment and not needing to wake up early for commutes is massive.
