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.

With the payment pause, student debt has effectively been cancelled for the last three years (and would you look at that, the world didn’t end…), so I’m very curious to find out how the economy will be impacted by millions of borrowers having their payments resume without relief (thanks SCOTUS!). My financial situation will go from “meh I’m in okay shape” to “I can’t afford anything anymore” overnight, so I won’t be participating in the economy nearly as much as I have been for the last three years.
this was always his plan though. squeeze the savings out of all the poors and back into the economy
