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.

The biggest issue with population decline is generally an aging population. The older generations will require care, which we will not have the population to do.

The other issue is the ruling class is trying to replace good jobs with AI, keeping our wages for manual labor jobs low. Those end up bring harder to automate and have lower wages, so the incentive isn't there yet.

An easy problem to fix with some planning. Incentivize more healthcare professionals by giving better wages and subsidized room and board while in school.

Go back to ye olden hospitals with a guaranteed living quarters ward for hospital staff and I'm pretty sure they would triple applicants just for the housing stability

That's why we all import new slaves, as our own slaves don't wanna breed anymore. And the new slaves are even more docile and less demanding, how awesome!
