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.

MODERATORS
FYI - this is a clip from the movie “Emily the Criminal”, starring Aubrey Plaza.
Pretty decent movie, the plot was a little better than average, but the acting in it was great.
Oh man, when the hiring manager says “not at first” with that sing-song lilt, the adrenaline hit was immediate. 15 years later and this still gets to me.
From what I've seen unpaid internships aren't nearly as common as they used to be, but are still concentrated in certain white-collar fields such as law and finance.
I don't think I saw a single unpaid internship when I was searching for my senior internship in college.
