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.

I would love that. Just one more day, one more day a week to do my own activities. That would help so much with all the anxieties.
I was lucky enough to experience the 4 day work week for 1 glorious year. I used my extra day to schedule weekday appointments without taking time off, taking care of chores so I could enjoy the weekend more, and doing more hobbies when I wasn't doing those other 2 things. It was the best quality of life I ever had.
Want to tell my lazy ass partner? 3 days off a week and acts like he working 6 24h shifts a week
Maybe you should talk to them instead of complaining on the internet
Actually, it has to be literally any single soul besides me saying anything for them to listen. Appreciate the assumptions
Maybe you shouldn’t be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t value what you say
