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.

Friendly reminder Trump is tariffing countries he alleges haven't done enough to mitigate slave-labor.

I'm now expecting some convoluted plan from Trump where he tarrifs his own country and routes the fees into his family's bank accounts. Politicians and justifies will stand around with their fingers up their noses saying there's nothing to be done, it's only tradition that has kept presidents from doing this sort of thing previously. Would anyone here actually be surprised by such a headline?
