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.

When I went to get my COVID booster at CVS, there was a huge wait. One Karen started yelling at one young pharmacist and my partner told the lady to stop yelling at the staff for something that wasn't their fault. The pharmacist later thanked us and explained the store's computer program will accept up to 100 appointments per day. It's a completely unreasonable pace to expect.
My friend works at Walgreens in the pharmacy and it's fucking nightmare. Unfortunately they can't walk out because we are at will state and if they protested they all just be fired.
Tell your friend I work for the same company in an at will state, me and my other techs stayed home for the strike ~two weeks ago and they didn't do anything.
If any more get planned (I heard about one at the end of this month but don't know if it's going to happen or not) I'd encourage them to participate!
What state we are in Oklahoma and protesting is frown upon here.
Is there no union?
No union.
