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.

Seems to me that if we have an economy based on consumer spending, giving consumers more money to spend would be a good thing.
Heck yeah! And of course, the companies will just eat that loss and not increase their products' price to cover higher wages.
They've increased costs without covering wages so that would be a refreshing change.
Eventually the system is going to come to a screeching halt
