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.

no, half of your country votes for trump. You have absolutely no right to complain about voting not working or calling for violence.

Again, half of your country strongly disagrees with you and you suggest violence? No wonder your democracy is so bleak.

Your comment is partially correct, but not totally. 63% of republican voters want to increase taxes on the wealthy and large corporations. Reoublican voters are just very stupid and are easily convinced to vote against their own interests because you can easily scare them with some "other" that isn't a threat.

It’s even worse than that. The Republican side is full of all the gun enthusiasts. In a civil war I don’t like the “north’s” chances this time around.

Not to mention all the fighter jets, bombers, tanks, and drones the military has.

That's another point lemmy warriors don't consider. US is getting closer to a civil war no matter which side wins the elections. And, I got some news for you lemmy, you will lose that war and fast.
