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.

After serious consideration the multimillionaire has concluded that money inevitably corrupts and poisons.

The issue with money in college sports is that some schools just have a ton more money to pay athletes than others. They should take it up with the NCAA to ensure fair competition and not just remove money from college players. Many players getting paid in college will not go pro, so this is their chance to get paid for the sport their college makes plenty of money from.
