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.

Children should not have to work to support their families. That is a specific situation that was being called out not just a teen working at McDonalds to have some spending money.
I agree. Children shouldn't have to work to support their families.
None of the regulations that were stripped away have anything to do with that though, as far as I can tell.
So that problem exists in any world where we let kids work at McDonald's for some spending money.
