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.

UAW, which represents American auto workers, recently won a victory in their strike against the "Big Three" auto companies. Among the benefits:

RAISES: Expected to range +33% to over +160%. (after including forecasted COLA and CWIs.)
It now takes 3 years of employment to reach top pay rate (was 8).
Company spending on many workers’ 401(k)s boosted to 10% of salaries.

Now, the UAW wants workers at auto companies other than the "Big Three" to go union so that they too can make improvements in their life. And the first step is as many workers signing up as possible. Workers at these companies can do so at the following links.

After clicking the link, click the big "Sign your Union Card" button (scroll up if you don't see it), fill in your details and check your email.

This would be delicious if Tesla and Muskarat caused a wave of unionisation.
