We work 40+ hours a week and they tell us we can’t afford insulin for our neighbors, but we can always afford another war

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 needed to get an MRI a few years back. Cost with insurance was $1,200. I was paying it and after a few months (because i literally could not set up a payment plan because I knew as soon as i did I'd fail to meet it; I had the money each month, just i couldn't tell you when I'd have it, specifically) it went to a collections agency. $400. I have refused to pay it, as I was making payments in good faith, and they STILL sold off my debt after 6 months. YOU CAN GET FUCKED THOMAS AGENCY. IF YOU WANT THAT MONEY GET SPECTRUM RADIOLOGY TO GIVE IT TO YOU BACK SO I CAN RESUME PAYMENTS TO THEM.
