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.

Good. Every healthcare worker should be in a union, and even entry level patient care jobs should pay at least 70k a year. In larger cities like nyc and San Francisco they should be making at least 100k, nursing should be the same only with an extra 40-70k a year added. A medical doctor shouldn't make less than 500k a year, base. Not 'well if you get enough RVUs you could make that much'
Then cap charges to patients/insurance for medicine, supplies and services. Suddenly the only fat left to trim is the c-suite and the multiple layers of upper middle management.
