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.

Unionizing—it’s so hot right now. Whether you’re a barista, a warehouse worker, or a package car driver, whether you work in Hollywood or higher education, the voracious corporate greed and exploitation workers across sectors are experiencing, and the wave of militant labor action shaking the US in response, shows why every worker needs to know their rights and why every workplace needs a union. Vince Quiles, lead organizer for Home Depot Workers United at Store 4112 in Philadelphia, breaks down the argument for why you and your coworkers should unionize, and what you can achieve together if you do.

Is this posted by a bot? The Real News also sounds so shifty and dystopian in a trump “they’re all Fake News we’re The Real News” way like Truth Social. Also the user is called Jimmy Dore is a lefty which. Clearly means i can’t trust them considering Jimmy Dore is a grifter who platforms and supports people like RFK Jr. while endlessly attacking Cornel West and constantly does shady grifter esque things like Glenn Greenwald now does.

Combing through the posts and comments seems like its not a bot just someome with terrible opinions who loves posting tweets as “news” and is easily suckered by people grifters like RFK jr, Jimmy Dore, Putin, etc. I’m just gonna block

I can say the same thing about your views, but that won't change any person's opinion. It just makes everyone stick to their bubble.

I still watch people that are against JD and others to get out of my bubble, I hope you do the same, not just with small issues like watching which yters.

RBN, Sabby Sabs, called him out on the Cornel critic already.
