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 feels that at this point, the ruling class has gotten so good at giving us just enough to keep us from outright revolution. It's little bonuses here and there, it's providing just enough to keep us afloat long enough to get through the next election, it's information manipulation to have us arguing with each other rather than focusing our anger on them.
It's going to be extremely difficult to break that control.
Don't forget the endless money spent on propaganda, convincing people that companies are good and everyone fighting for workers' rights are evil, painting the latter as greedy and corrupt assholes with subversive intents
