Paychecks shouldn’t cost your health

“Paychecks Shouldn’t Cost Your Health” speaks to the stark reality that, under capitalist systems, many people are forced to sacrifice their well-being just to make a living. This catchphrase highlights the injustice of a system where access to healthcare, time off, and safe working conditions are often seen as luxuries rather than basic rights. It criticizes the idea that people must choose between earning a paycheck and maintaining their health, pointing out the toll that work-related stress, poor conditions, and lack of healthcare take on individuals. Wearing this message is a call for a shift toward a system where work supports well-being, rather than compromising it, and where people’s health is valued more than their productivity or profitability.
