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.

Any employees qualifying for aid due to low wages while working at large companies like Walmart should disqualify the company from all tax incentives.
It would not be legal in a society that is actually trying to have consistent laws. The US is not one of those.
At this point businesses don't have to adhere to any regulations so long as they bribe the officials that are supposed to enforce them.
