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.

Supposedly they get responsibilities, that’s why it’s justified they make the big bucks.
But repercussions? Those aren’t C level things.
For them, is Golden parachutes all the way.
And I think to qualify all they really have to do is not see everyone else as human!
Responsibilities without consequences are just wish lists. If there are no repercussions then responsibility means nothing.
Hard agree. The whole “bigger responsibility justifies bigger paycheck” idea is bullshit when the executives are far more willing to save their own asses by fucking over employees than take a pay cut and only be able to afford 19 yachts this year.
One executive making $50m/yr is equivalent to 500 employees making $100k/yr (a fairly decent salary). Is the work they do 500x more valuable than an average employee? Strongly doubt it. The whole system’s fucking ridiculous and it absolutely disproportionally screws over the average person.
