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.

About $46k per year in my state. Also, apparently I'm above average.
"While couples can usually find some cost savings by splitting mortgage or rent costs, there is no such discount for single people..."
I guess having a roommate is something they've never heard of.

I call bullshit on a definition of "living wage" which claims that someone making $100,000 a year is earning less than a living wage (even in Hawaii).
