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.

You think the doctor has some say in how much medical care costs? This has nothing to do with the doctors. This entirely about the health insurance companies.
The AMA is officially opposed to single payer healthcare. Maybe it wouldn't make a huge difference, but I think it could change a few minds if the body who represents all doctors in the US didn't have the stance that we all just need more and better insurance.
This is from the American Medical Association. A body composed of some 270 thousand medical professionals.
