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.

Cap the maximum compensation gap (including bonuses and stocks) between the highest paid and lowest paid person in a company at 1000:1. Any overpay goes into a UBI account that pays out equally to all.
Then they'll just hire Task Rabbits or otherwise divide companies by pay.
Starbucks needs more union stores. Unions can address loopholes more quickly and effectively than government legislators can. Deunionization is half the reason why inequality has skyrocketed since the 1970s.
We need to fix the root causes of inequality by building infrastructure that can't just be destroyed by executive order.
Should be 30 :1 on whichever is lower average or median salary and contractors count if they perform core business functions/work on location.
