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.

Most cars built anywhere have parts sourced internationally and then finished at one plant or another. This is a link kind of detailing how much of a car is sourced from the US.
VW has had some issues with Ignition Coils and the like, but most of their issues come from complex German engineering being put together by underpaid workers. That being said, they do have an "average" reliability score, so they're not terrible, though the repairs tend to be costly because, again, complex German engineering.
