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.

That's by design
Stupid people are much easier to control
It's also easier to push privatization when public schools are failing.
When each year sees cuts to school programs and all that remains is kids sitting in front of screens (even PE is watch what TV shows and repeat), privatization is only remaining option for parents. The sad reality is that not many parents can afford it, especially if they have more than one child.
Meanwhile all your taxes go to pay salaries in the hundreds of thousands, to administrators that have nothing to do with education.
