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 think this wouldn't be a racism though. This would be prejudicialism.
People with typically non-english sounding names have in the past called with job offers that have nothing to do with your skill set because they're not paying attention to your actual resume. Because of those past actions you are preventing any future actions by default.
It has nothing to do with their race, and everything to do with pattern recognition, which is prejudice.
The worst possible outcome out of this are that the person doing it misses out on a great job opportunity.
More white moderates. Sweet.
