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.

For you. Not him, of course.

I'm glad college athletes can get paid. What's unfortunate is that it's now another recruiting tool for colleges, favoring larger markets.

I’m worried about the damage sudden wealth gains have to young brains. Also how the cash drain will affect the other parts of the college, from academic research to the janitors getting cost of living rises.
