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 wouldn't call it bootlicking as much as, some people are absolutely terrified at the prospect of having to find a new job and will do anything they are told at work in order to avoid that. That's the best I've been able to come up with after watching this play out over and over at places I've worked.
I'm more of a "Nah, that doesn't work for me, cya" kinda guy.
