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.

Because those nursing aids aren't working on wealthy people. The circumstances of a worker is proportional to the level of threat and inconvenience it presents to the elite if they aren't in good shape.
We need more friction against the corporations, be it the implication of force, strikes, or quiet quitting.

Should America's economic system be replaced in the future, a key thing to do is to eliminate most of the difference between the poorest and wealthiest. That would require standardizing incomes, capping wealth accumulation, workers voting for leadership, and using universal benefits such as free shelter and food to prevent coercive workplaces.
Our current economy is an creature that inherited the properties of feudalism, and wasn't explicitly designed to be good for civilization. Creating a whole new system with deliberate intent & mechanisms is the best path forward.
