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.

It's been better, but my father was in ICU for 2 whole months because of a operation that didn't go too well.
It cost a lot of money, but he had to pay like 2.5k for it. I believe the whole ordeal cost upward of a 100k. This was last summer.
He's been in a wheelchair most of his life because of a fractured nek. he uses it with his arms, but has electic assist. No cost. And drives a special van with an lift that cost 110k back in 2011. He only had to pay part of the van itself, a regular VW transporter. The whole special system made just for him to get in, out and drive with only his arms was paid by insurance. I can go on just about him lol. He wasn't lucky in life but at least he was lucky about being born Dutch.
