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.

Seems to me that if we have an economy based on consumer spending, giving consumers more money to spend would be a good thing.
No no, see once the most super-rich person collects all the money they win the game, and then we all get to quit.
If by "quitting" you mean we all die, I think you just might be right.
We'll get there in our time, friend.
Can I quit right now?
New Game+ ?
But before that we fight each other in a lawless starvation hellscape.
