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.

That's devastating.

I mourn the exploitation and preventable death of Satnam Singh, whose name I only know because of injustice. I will never know the name of countless like him, though I mourn them too, and takeaway the lesson that if I want to live in a world where this isn't allowed to happen, I must understand what I have in common with farm workers and immigrant labourers.

Heck in Canada we've legalized the use of slaves as long as they are migrant workers.
