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.

So they can choose to take the 36 hour week, right? Guess that means they earn less if they do?
The article is unclear, but the introduction on the study says:
Jeez, Scandinavian countries showing how it's done again. How come the rest of the world isn't crying in shame all day?
Sorry to be that guy, but Scandinavia is just the "peninsula", so Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The Nordics is us three, Finland, Iceland, Färöarna, Åland and Greenland. Basically what you probably think of when you think of Scandinavia.
But yes, we rule 😎
Because we're supremely good at inventing thought terminating cliches and right-wing weirdos.
