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 7 out of 10 top CEOs are white cis males. But somehow gender and racism has nothing to do with it. Hmm, interesting logic.
Yes I think that's perfectly sound logic.
If 10/10 of the top CEO's were white cis males if say "that's interesting, let's look at a larger sample size". As it stands, it seems there is a statistically significant population of non-white and non-male CEO's. This dataset doesn't include sexual orientation, and even if I cared to look that information up for each individual it's hard to ascertain the accuracy. I would expect most, if not all, CEO's to be cis because... that's the same trend as all of humanity. Approximately 1% of the US population is transgender, and a good portion of those are young people. CEO's tend to be older as the job (in theory) requires experience, so I wouldn't expect to see significant trans representation there for a few more decades.
What are you hoping to accomplish by calling out gender and racism though? Because the only thing you're actually accomplishing is further dividing the working class against each other and playing right into the hands of these people.
As I see it, while not all CEOs are white cisgender. For some strange reason, which I'm completely sure it's totally a coincidence, all the ones spouting this antiwork bile, are always white cis male. I wonder why that might be…
