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.

I got banned from the Reddit sub for asking about union related materials for distribution. (lemmy.world)

Are the same petty mods running this show? If so, please ban me immediately. I don't see how you can reconcile claiming to fight labor exploitation while at the same time giving away your labor for free to a billion dollar company.

Hello. Thanks for replying. I'm happy to be here and I appreciate what you've done. I'm a diehard believer in the mission and philosophy. I was always more of a lurker on the sub than a contributor, but the message resonates strongly with me, and it was an important part of my daily feed.

I'm still finding my way around this platform, and learning the new jargon and culture, but I can see this replacing any need for Reddit. I'm definitely rooting for the platform and your community.
