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.

What's also sad is that most GPs, interns and generally younger doctors in all fields are underpaid and malpractice insurance costs them a fortune. Healthcare is prohibitively expensive for the patient and most of that money doesn't even end up with the doctors that actually provide healthcare but instead bleeds out to a whole mess of parasites within the system.
That's a feature of the system. Plebs do all the work while capital class collects rents which increasingly became lion's share of every transaction.
Boomers essentially sold out the proffession. Not just medical but every other one also from trades to law.
