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.

This whole thing is just garbage and should probably be taken down -

The writing quality is low and looks AI generated
It doesn't actually link to a study that agrees with its conclusions
The one study that was linked shows the following results:
- More sleep (+27 minutes)
- Less physical exercise (-50 minutes)
- Worse diet (reduced amount of calories from protein)
- Higher alcohol consumption (increased amount of calories from alcohol)
- "no changes in weight or wellbeing"
- "however, their impact on health and wellbeing may accumulate over time."

I don't think it's even out of the question that the study actually supports the opposite conclusion, but all of this of course doesn't matter since there was a massive confounding variable involved in that there was a global pandemic going on during the study.
