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.

It’s so far past time we need to be looking at a 24 hour work week. It’s perfect for multiple reasons. It’s one day. It can be met multiple ways: two 12 hour shifts, three 8 hour shifts, or four 6 hour shifts. It reduces the work week to less than half of the week, so parents can juggle without paying childcare. And the most important reason: we’ll all get the same amount of work done. Corporations or businesses can just swap employees out to get a full week.
That's the part that confuses me the most. Politicians should be all over this! Think how employment would shoot up.
