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.

The assumption is that if you have time to be happy, you have time to work more so happiness needs to be stamped out to increase productivity. That's of course a myth as data shows happy workers are more productive. The result is workers stuck in the twilight zone of not being happy and not getting more work done. It's one of the business religious beliefs.
This is exactly it. It's a delicate balance that needs to be struck.
We always could've had more at the expense of our rulers. Since we're collectively willing to accept less, that's what we get.
It should really put into perspective how damaging class traitors are. They actively lower standards for the rest of us.
