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.

i can see your point. i for example did buy from amazon once so far this year. it was because the product I needed was expensive and part of a business calculation where i dont have the luxury to waste money.
however, I bought more than a hundred smaller products off of local sellers which are more expensive but i was able to afford it.
thats all I'm asking. that folks make a concious effort to prefer local sellers if they can, not some one dimensional exclusivity that will not work anyway.
