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.

But what will those poor CEOs do now? They’ll have to downgrade to slightly smaller yachts. How on earth will they survive?
/s (just in case)
Oh don’t worry. They’ll just raise prices and blame it on the rising cost of labor.
Yup…. And this is the fuckin problem… happens in healthcare too… as someone in the inside of a major healthcare org I see the writing on the wall. Supposedly “non-profit” but we’re being told that because we don’t have constant growth at high enough levels every year that we all need to accept minimal raises and no bonuses… but the cost of care is increasing and the CEO is still making more money than I’ll ever see in my lifetime…
I also work for for healthcare "non-profit" like this. You're not in the upper midwest by chance?
Nah. West Coast.
But sad to know (although not surprising) that this is a country wide issue…
Yeah, I just started a couple years ago and finding the same corporate greed at a medical "non-profit" that I thought I'd left behind in the manufacturing sector was a pretty big disappointment.
Still beats helping assholes make war materials though.
