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.

So this is a "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" situation? The whole point of Capitalism is actually in the name: those with capital (i.e. capitalists) control those without capital (i.e. workers).

You've decided that Adam Smith (the founding father of capitalism), the London School of Economics, Princeton, Harvard, etc are wrong. I wish I had half your confidence.

Last reply because there's no discussing someone that just goes "nuhuh just is" despite asking for sources and clarification.
