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.

Not to mention I feel like I spent my whole working life having the "grateful to have a job" mindset. I'm not now, but worked construction through the housing market collapse, a recession or two thereafter. Many corporate bailouts. It wasn't exactly easy to find a decent job if you didn't "know" someone.
The global pandemic was a neat addition to the chaos of it all.
