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.

I have activity not applied for jobs in health insurance since I know my job would be to find the best way for the company to make money. Which I knew would be fine the best method to reject claims.
I'm working for a job now that works makes medicine for pets. I activity did consider how "evil" the company was while looking. I know with corporate life there's a little evil but trying to minimize it
But have you considered how much Return on Investment you can provide shareholders by denying people life at the click of a finger? /S
Honestly, I applaud you: more people should deny these morally bankrupt jobs. But it's sad because some don't have the choice because pressures put on them by our shared reality. This system shakes our humanity, and in turn makes people numb to denying others humanity.
The whole system is set up to make everyone greedy and evil. Since everyone but a few are so desperate.
You just got to find the right amount of evil you can handle for your situation. It's a privilege to get to choose
That's facts right there. Wish more had the choice.
