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.

I once had to pay $250 for just a 15-minute conversation with a doctor. With insurance.
I had to pay $400 after waiting 4-5 months in serious pain (uncommon injury) for an appointment with a specialist and when I got there I was with him for maybe 3 minutes as he explained I was sent to the wrong place and gave me the number for the place I was supposed to go.
I never actually paid. I refused. I'm actually not sure if they ended up sending it to collections. I was in too much pain to give a shit about any of that. I just knew I wasn't going to willingly pay them.
Oh yeah, WITH insurance.
Our system isn't just a joke. It's a predatory scheme.
