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've yet to see the Republicans do anything but undermine the workerbase's rights. Especially every policy under the first trump admin. Of course unions need leadership and of course any leadership will always be dogged by corruption. This reeks of a betrayal. The only thing the GOP can trade behind closed doors is to not go to the extremes they have against workers. That brings us back to the status quo which is nonnegotiable.
