Work Reform - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
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.

      I checked out of antiwork about the time of their TV/PR fiasco. I know the original intent of the sub was to be opposed to all work (I am oversimplifying), but it was coopted by a larger “lets make work better by calling out bad actors and bad behaviors” movement, which is what attracted me to it. Then the original mods kinda shot the movement in the foot and I stopped checking in.

      Is the new /c/antiwork a return to their roots of “all work BAD, down with all work” or the larger “lets make work better” ethos?
