Time to Strike Out on your Own

by
Newsteinleo@midwest.social
4 months ago

I think we are past the point of unionizing and on to the point where we all need to start our own companies. In general you would get a job with a large company to exchange your time for money and the money you get is a fraction of the value you generate for the company. The advantage used to be that this was a low risk way to make money. Large companies were generally stable, and you had a job so long as you didn’t fuck shit up to bad.

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.
