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'm already not paying and I will continue to not pay. Though it's surprising to see how many people agree with this sentiment.
The deal was that the education would get you more income, and specifically a living wage. If that didn't happen, I approve of taking your refund any way you can.
Yeah. I graduated uni with a computer science degree. It's been a decade now and I have not acquired any sort of stable income or employment.
