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.

hmmm... solution is literally sitting in front of them. remember folks, wage theft is the single largest category of property crime ;)

jokes a side, this is the entire point of the current regime. "hungry dog is an obedient dog" said some guy on teevee during covid. even fake news felt it was too much as it exposes how they think of us.

there is a lesson in there tho
