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.

It is working.
Joe Biden took almost nine million in Big Pharma money. Every member of Congress has probably taken a large sum of money from them too, and they can loan their campaigns money at 20% interest and legally pocket those lobbyist contributions.
That is why diabetics in this country are stuck paying a mortgage payment to inhabit their own bodies. It's by design, and you will never change it voting for the two ruling parties.
I wish it were something we could change, but on this issue, we're basically powerless.
Conservatism is a plague of corporatism, deception and death. Conservatives (including neo-liberals like Biden) are the reason we don't have a legitimate healthcare system. Killing us benefits them.
