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.

Are you fucking kidding? Are billionaires and the 1% prepared? The new deal is what historically stopped unions from just dragging bossman out on to the front lawn and beating him to death in front of his family.
Much faster to do that than convince everyone to organize.
I'd agree, but that was before the days of mass surveillance. People could expect to get away with mob justice back in the day. Today you'd be caught between dozens of cams and cell towers.
Which is why a full-on mob will be necessary. The police can choose a side, but we all know whose boots they lick
Ehhh. Jury of peers, leave enough doubt....ya know now that you mention it the guy in the video walks different than this guy on trial. I think this guy is not guilty.
