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 am well aware of governments doing a lot of shady shit in the name of public health.

My country, Sweden, for example, did a shit load of terrible stuff, among the most famous examples are:

Forced sterilizations were a thing here from 1934 all the way up to 2013 with various criteria.
The tooth decay experiments at Vipeholm is an absolutely awful thing to learn about.

I am also aware of the US government's tendency to use their population as test subjects without consent under the guise of public health.

While I knew all of that, I didn't think about it at the time of my comment, I was busy trying to find a fun name for the fictional force.
