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.

Ah, I see. Hyperbole is degrading.
Degrading to the valid argument. Unless it's satire, then it's funny hyperbole 😁
I stand on the corner of the street where my customers can see me.
But in all seriousness, so long as they are doing it by choice and have not been forced into it by criminals or financial difficulties then it's not a problem. If it's controlled and safeguarded like any other employment then it's entirely up to you of you take them up on what they are selling just like anything else.
It's still work
