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.

If Spain shits on the jobless, then it seems like a "yes"?
And dude, you shouldn't have to struggle... That's the whole point. If one has to struggle existing without a job then the system's broken and morality probably comes second. Sad world.
And if I had struggled in life, my expertise suddenly would count?
For us here, no. It's just a social welfare-state.
But still, even if I would have to struggle, I wouldn't sell my soul for some bucks to an evil company. Probably prefer stealing or whatever over that. And if the state pisses on me and also all companies I could work at were evil, I'd emigrate. There's a reason we drown in migrants...
As said, our state covers hardship. So even if I were in deep shit, I wouldn't starve and had a roof over my head.
Yet it would have to be real shit for me to throw away my morals for some bucks. As said, threw away a great job with not much work and tons of benefits just for that.
