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.

Yeah, my experiences weren't that bad. But, I remember recently sitting there for hours awkwardly trying to support my shoulder with my other arm so whatever was broken didn't have to bear the weight of everything else. Of course, one of the first things they did after assessing me was to give me a sling... that would have helped hours earlier.
I dunno, maybe they need a "first pass treatment" triage where they hand out slings, ice packs, compression bandages, etc. The sort of things that a nurse can "prescribe" that might make things feel better, can't really make it worse, and will tide you over until the doctor can take a better look.
