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.

Why is no one also mad at the lobbying group? They come up with ideas to thwart any improvement for us all and don't see any ethical issues with what they are doing. Being paid to be genuinely evil is something that shouldn't exist as a job.
Because there's a lot of naive people who think that we can fight lobbying of big corporations by bunch of people and small business cooperation with each other.
Lol.
Imagine bunch of people trying to cooperate in lobbying vs 1 paid lawyer with unlimited budget
