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.

So if medicaid pays for the cancer treatment, someone in the medical industry would get paid. Surprised that the medical industry is not lobbying harder for that. What's the point of charging and bankrupting the average Joe, as if there's much money there?
You'd think keeping your citizens (your tax base) healthy would generate the most tax revenue?
Because the docs and execs at the hospital still get their big nut, the raises and bonuses and zero impact to their benefits or retirement.
It's everyone else at the hospital that feels the cuts; elimination of benefits, no raises, bonuses "suspended".
