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.

Yeah, sorry, no.
Just "toss people in jail" is a very USA solution and it just ends with mass incarceration, having more people and nahihger % of people in jail than China, while still having higher crime rates than Europe, and prisoners not having an option to go back to an actual life without crime.
I know that the "but revenge!" attitude feels good, but it hasn't solved anything in the US for deccades.
