Work Reform
16877 readers

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.

Oh no, do you feel unwell? Do you need to take paid personal leave from work to visit a free doctor?
This is normal in civilized countries.
*it's not free.
i pay (on top of my tax deductions) about monthly 150eur for health insurance, and on top of that a yearly 384 eur "eigen risico" (own risk). still better than the US, but free it is not.
If you are unable to afford to pay those additional costs, are you unable to access Healthcare?
