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 assume that there's a balance to this. At some point the reduction of hours will result in a loss in productivity. You can do 5 days of work in 4 days if you're better rested and more focused, but this might be less true in 3 days. I mean if studies show that there's isn't a dip productivity and that it improves well being, then sure, that would be great but I think it's likely than a 4 day work week.
