As someone who is currently living in a 2 bedroom apartment and has seen the price change through out the years, I think I am in touch with what it costs.

It ain’t the “market” that sets prices, it’s the owners. The owners set prices to fill up the apartments, sure, but they would rather it sit empty then rent it out to someone that would cost more money to evict and repair then they would pay in rent.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
