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.

How on earth do they think these CEOs and Executives make their obscene salaries. It’s via wage theft and they’re all in on it, people are just to indoctrinated to speak out against it and do something about it, for fear of losing what crumbs of health insurance they are dealt with.
Big companies have people well and truly under boot in most countries.
It is crazy how people can be against welfare programs because "the money has to come from somewhere" but in the same breath defend billionaires who's wealth also "has to come from somewhere".
More than that, money in welfare programs continues to circulate. Money going to the ultra-wealthy exits the economy.
