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.

Read between the lines here, article writer 🥲, everything amounts to nothing. Nobody wants their life to pass by unlived
Old people are impossible to talk to, painfully neurotic and stupid and obsessed with collecting clothing and electronics. They have zero compassion. They know the social contract is broken and they keep telling us to make the same decisions as them knowing we will get nothing for it and die
I guess this is the story of Brexit? The UK shouldn't have allowed people over 50 years old to vote on that referendum, because they aren't likely so see the effects of the decision and they're still delusional about a great empire that can stand alone while they watch American TV shows on a TV made in China and a chair designed in Sweden...
Errrr, so let's take away the right of people to vote when they hit the age of 50?
LOL, do you think we will be this relevant/irrelevant when we turn 50? Brexit was dumb as fuck but that doesn't justify stripping away people's rights.
They can't be serious lol they're just waffling nonsense
No no, what's your take on this? https://lemmy.world/comment/6915894
Dumb article that bowlderizes actual labor issues into stale generational politics takes that have been pushed by consultants since the 90s as blandly palatable fodder for this kind of writing.
That's fair.
The generational politics thing irks me because it's an example of advertisers openly trying to divide people's families and yet that gets taken seriously by "muh family values" conservatives.
And I'm supposed to guess that how? From the /s they didn't add to the end of their post, or?
Oh I wasn't saying you were dumb, they're dumb
