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.

Local agencies for healthcare do “flu clinics” every fall. I’ve done this. It’s an easy money, relaxed gig that has no end of RNs and LPNs willing to participate. The agency supplies materials. Only requirement is space to set up. One of those 6ft tables is sufficient, 2 if you want four flu shot lines instead of two. Local businesses use this to supply employees with on site flu shots.
Walgreens and Walmart could do this too, at any time, to relieve their pharm staff of being stacked up with too many tasks. But they don’t.
It’s not a question of workers. More often, it’s a question of the billionaire employers being willing to pay more workers, temporary or otherwise.
Costco does these and I happened to schedule my COVID shot the same day. It made getting my shot really chill and easy since everyone who would normally be waiting at the pharmacy for a flu shot was at the other side of the store.
