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.

worthless because of the labour they do

That is not what the other person is saying. Stop being dumb.

I love the fact we're in a work reform instance and people are falling over backwards to dehumanize labour.

It's remarkable. They literally said someone who sweeps the floors is worth less than someone giving a heart transplant, but the person sweeping the floors is integral to that surgeon performing the heart transplant.

And so many people here want to completely say the work by the janitor which is essential to the work of the surgeon should be worth less.

I hope you maintain that position when you go in for lifesaving surgery and it's just some dude with a broom.
