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.

$680 fuckin dollars while I'm unemployed, per month??? Get da fuck outta heah
After I was laid off it was offer to me at 750 a month while unemployment is 400 and barely covered my bills. I needed health insurance still Don't have it and can't see my doctor.
That's a terrible situation, I hope you find a positive resolution sooner than later 🫤
When it happened to me, Medicaid was a way better solution. The only problem was there was a 2 month delay to get through the oppressive application process. However once activated, it was applied retroactively back to the date I lost my job.
At least it’s retroactive (unless that changed too). You can decide to pay if you have a big enough medical issue
