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.

Well, to be fair they keep making cuts to the VA and then it's had bad pr for as long as I can remember
In seriousness, nothing radicalized me more than when I finally got into the VA system and suddenly my medical and mental care needs were being taken care of with no cost to me. It makes me so angry that people have to be seriously injured in the military just to have full and free access to care
