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.

It's distressing how important career advancement is to some when the actual chances of career advancement tend to be low. You may be one of five people up for the promotion into management but that means four-fifths of the eligible workers are going to be disappointed.
If pay is not the issue then I'd rather start in a job I like, and do it for decades. And if money is an issue, then I'm not being paid enough starting.
