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.

That one person to the right in the thumbnail doesn't quite get how it works.
"No repayment until cancellation is delivered"
Yeah, that's kinda not a threat. "I'm not going to pay you until you tell me I don't owe anything"
Methinks someone slept through a few classes ;)
Edit: Apparently, my dumb ass slept through some news articles, because I thought the debt cancellation was meant to be total. No idea how I got that impression.
Let this be a lesson, if you're going to make a snarky joke, be right
They weren't cancelling all debt, just a portion. The sign is saying they won't repay anything until that portion is cancelled as planned.
Thanks for the correction :)
