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.

This is quite literally the stuff that results in revolutions. People can tolerate inequality only up to a certain level. Even some ultra rich can see the situation can't remain stable.
Which is why they put so much effort into manipulating all of us
It just takes one person to start a revolution. Too bad the lot of you are waiting for someone else to start it.
This applies to you as well. Also what revolution was done by a single person?
I don't live in a country under dictatorial fascism. So I don't need to start a revolution.
Rosa Parks refusing to leave her seat on the bus was the catalyst for the Civil Rights movement just to name one. Greta Thunberg as an individual is the face of climate change and social economic change.
Greta didn't start shit and saying Rosa Parks 'started' the civil rights movement is historically illiteracy.
Then kindly shut the fuck up about what people you don't even live with should do.
Cool. Enjoy ICE or something I guess. Hope you don't sprain your ankle or you might end up homeless.
Thanks for your concern, I'll give it all the consideration it is due.
Who's "you"? I'm not American, things are nowhere near as bad where I live
You said "All of us". I'm not manipulated by "them". I assumed since you added yourself into it that you were American.
