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.

Do you have the same load of work with less work time?
For a lot of these jobs, no one really works for 4 hours non-stop, then lunch, then another 4 hours non-stop. They take breaks, get distracted, play on their phones, chat with coworkers, etc.
People are actually more productive during a shorter work week, so the same amount of work gets done, but psychologically it doesn't seem like more work.
