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.

It's cultural, not employer-action, & therefore .. striking isn't going to change anything?
Unless enforcing-accountability-on-patients becomes a thing..
but hospitals won't EVER tolerate accountability on themselves, in my experience: the institution/gang/pack/herd HAS TOTAL IMMUNITY, to use Trump's phrase from his ICE..
so it'll always be selective accountability, among "institutions"/gangs/herds/packs/unions/classes/etc.
How depressing: NO amount of damage from factionalism-displacing-objectivity, will EVER be sufficient for humankind to take a sold stand against factionalism's narcissism/machiavellianism..
Whatever: there will be other worlds: souls can go incarnate among them, after this one's extinguished..
