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.

We shall have to agree to disagree then. Calling a healthcare system that doesn't cover all available healthcare universal just doesn't make sense.
I can accept that's what people call it, but that's about it.
I think they're wrong.
By this logic the USA has universal healthcare, because a hospital must treat you for emergency, life-saving care, even if you're unable to pay.
So, the definition is absurd if it's just that a system covers everyone.
The definitions I've seen mention the ability for anyone to receive medical care without fear of financial hardship. Which I guess also isn't a perfect definition.
