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.

Criticizing it because it will never pass and it’s just a sham they are selling so you vote for their genocidal asses is not fucking stupid.
Repeatedly saying "this won't pass" Everytime a fix is proposed GIVES THEM PERMISSION TO NOT PASS IT.
You're telling politicians that you won't get mad at them for blocking it. You've already accepted defeat. Stop it.
Who the fuck accepted defeat? I just got another weapon two days ago, and trained someone new on its use yesterday. What the fuck are you doing?
