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.

Source: union trying to spin a measly 4 sick days in an entire year as a complete victory while giving Biden oversized credit for merely APPOINTING the people who did all the work.

While he DOES deserve a little credit for appointing good pro-union people to the relevant posts, this wasn't his doing.

The only thing HE did personally was use his influence as president to effectively strip them of their hard won right to strike by forcing them to (provisionally, but still) accept a bad agreement from his owner donors in the corrupt rail industry.
