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'm worried about my water possibly being shut off because I've been too sick to work, and I can't afford a doctor because I don't have health insurance because I'm self-employed. I'm self-employed because my health is too unstable to keep a "normal job". So I'm stressed which makes me get sick more often.
If I had money, I'd not have to worry about the basics of living and survival.
Money absolutely can buy happiness, if you're burdened by the stress of not having any.
