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.

Its probably just what everyone's used to. I work in an ED. Fuck anyone who always turns up late. What does 10 minutes matter? It matters a lot actually. This is shift work. The work is never "done".
What's ED in this context?
Emergency Department. Its a Level One Trauma center, so down time is not predictable.
Why not just say emergency room rather than an acronym nobody in the general population uses? There was a whole tv show about this for like 25 years.
Well no reason other than that's what it's called here. Most people where I live would know what I'm talking about. I can't be responsible for all people who don't understand me. Im going to use the language that is commonly used where I live aren't I? It's not a room it's a department.
