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.

what alternatives to unions exist that might be better in the modern day
alternative? you think that union membership has declined just because they were bad and not because of a concerted effort to try and destroy them?
kind of, they can be coercive and also can be taken over and not represent what people want, and also haven't certain laws neutralized them a bit?
I mean some alternatives that come to mind are people just switch jobs, or create businesses I guess
People could organize without it having to be a "union", and I guess some have
