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.

Plus: "It’s been a little over a week since the members of SAG-AFTRA announced in a July 13 press conference that its members were going on strike. The union, which includes actors, recording artists, radio personalities and other media professionals, joined the WGA, which has been on strike since May 2, putting a pause on the earning potential of almost 200,000 entertainment professionals until a resolution is met."
