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.

You clearly do not, in fact, understand what the word "equal" means. They want more pay because they're paid less. But I know me explaining to you won't end your self-centered attitude and misogyny.
Pay isn't just given to you. If you don't work the same hours you shouldn't be paid the same.
If you demand you get paid the same regardless, you're a selfish asshole, not fighting for equality.
They currently aren't working the same hours. When you control for job choice and hours worked the pay gap goes away.
Yes, they are. That's the point.
At this point you're just asserting a falsehood. There is little else to say.
