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.

So glad someone else read the article. I really thought we'd escape clickbait like this post on Lemmy, but there's so much rage people are up voting this stuff and commenting how horrible it is based on the false title, not the actual article which is freaking survey results.
Like yes things are bad, but these results could have printed about any generation at any time post 1940s (advent of the concept of young adulthood) as long as they were all under 25.
This just in - young people thinking on shorter time horizons, bad at planning for future. More in tomorrow's newspaper dated any time in the last hundred years or so.
Where in the world do you get that I'm an angry old person? I didn't say youth today suck. My other comments in this thread were mentioning why gen z gets a raw deal for crying out loud.
What I said was that young people think on shorter time horizons, which is empirically true and also literally backed up in this empirical case. Hence why I also said it applies to every generation. What a weird take. Defensive much?
