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.

And you are actively participating in your own oppression, knowingly voting for a candidate when you've seen for four straight decades that either ruling party is going to make your life demonstrably harder.
Do you like paying double for your groceries?
Do you like that your rent is skyrocketing?
Meanwhile they make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air for other countries' wars.
Yep. All bad things.
But the choices we have in a general election are:
The Trump cult is hard at work on options 1 and 4 while deploying millions of bots and thousands of bad actors to encourage everyone else to go with options 2 and 3.
What exactly are you expecting a Democratic vote to change?
If the Democrats did their job Trump wouldn't even be on the ballot, so your faith seems misguided to me.
Vote Green instead.
I'm expecting them to not effectively outlaw being anything other than a wealthy CIS white Christian male.
The ship is sinking, and instead of helping us bail water you're trying to pick out more attractive curtains for your room.
