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.

Customers pay the tariffs. And then tax payers (customers) pay for the tariff refunds. Which the corporations pocket because it's too difficult to return it to the customers.
Don't forget the interest on the debt acquired to make the repayment!
Difficult for cash sales maybe. Anything paid with a credit card should be dead easy.
I think Cards against humanity are giving people their tariff back.

If I go to Walmart and pay by credit card, well in the old days they didn't track what the individual bought, just the total. And they probably don't want to admit it if they do. Online like Amazon keeps track.
